According to that jan 15 2010 the average connection speed in the world is 1,7mbps so yes unless that article is totally bogus 200 kB/s adsl is quite a bit faster than the world average

About the online check.... there's no way they would be stupid enough to just ping the server.... haha

A damned elementary grade kid with a bit of sniffing and programming skills could crack a system like that. I'm pretty sure there's a 2 way handshake or something similiar using some ubi algorithm to calculate checksums which are then validated. Meaning you are spending cpu resources on calculating a god damn security number. This number could include everything from filedetails in the game, system details, time and date sync bla bla so on.
