For myself, i only have a DSL 2000 connection (240kb/s) connected 24/7, i pay once per month for it thats how all european Provider work. You pay once per month and are connected 24/7, dont know about the USA and other parts of the world...do they have the same?

I only gave you one quick example, many more can be found if you're truly interested in looking... DSL, at least here in the US, is no where near reliable as cable connections. There are still
many areas of the US, and not just way out in the boondocks, where people only have the option of dial-up. Definitely not always online. Other countries are much better than this and much worse. I'm not going to do the footwork for you but if you really want to know some
accurate statistics all you need do is search, Google and the like are your friends.
I'm glad you will enjoy your game and I hope all of us non-believers will be wrong.
I edited this because I forgot to correct your assumption that Broadband only means cable, DSL is also considered broadband... it refers to the speed and DSL is fast enough over dial-up to qualify:
