Could be..
1) Peak hours (lots of other people online)
2) Super big website you're trying to access
3) A chokepoint on your modem
4) Crappy video card
5) Just about anything else

Why would Internet depend on your videocard?

Assuming he's not only talking about viewing webpages.

A crappy video card will load the page slowly making it seem like the 'net is slow.

Uh.. so will only half a video card with some drivers.  We could keep going like this ad nausium but it remains true, video card can affect 'net experience.

And that would make things pretty slow right?

My original point was that there could be numerous reasons for slowness and that more info could benefit.
