Answer

Usage varies on this one.
You can either use Internet as a proper noun with no article, and say "Internet, c'est facile" (with a capital I wherever it occurs -- J'aime Internet), or you can use it as a common noun with an article and no capital letter: L'internet, c'est facile. J'aime l'internet.
In Quebec, most French speakers use Internet as a proper noun without an article.
