Any sort of high speed internet is all you need.

You can either just get the ethernet cable and hook it up to your router, or get the wireless adapter if you have a wireless router, or you can use the cord to plug right into your modem, although you cant be on internet on your computer at the same time then.

Ya, that too, forgot to mention.

You get silver free, which is pretty much you can dowload any patches for games, or game demos, or arcade game, and all that other stuff. If you want to play multiplayer games over the internet though, you need to pay. 

Its around $50 for an entire year (cant remeber exactly) or 8 bucks a month. You can buy the ubscription at a game store, or just use a credit card and buy it over live.

You can use a wireless router if you buy the add-on for your 360.  You can plug the 360 directly into your router or into your surfboard/modem.  Also make sure you have a CC# handy or buy a subscription card a your local store for gold membership.  Or you can use XBL for free if you only use the Silver membership.
