Broad Band simply isnt available to everyone.

Speaking for myself, I will purchase SHV regardless, I want to support the franchise, I want to support the fantastic Romanian dev team and Im also exited to have a new subsiming exerience.

Im not worried about the DRM in terms of my own internet connetion as only get D/C'd one in a blue moon, and when i do its nothing that a quick router reboot wont fix.

However I do worry about the reliablity of Ubi's servers, now the following statment might get be brig time here- but I'll be honest.
If I get major/regular problems with an unstable connection to Ubis servers - when there is no issue at my end.
I will most likey download & install the first illegal (but virus free) crack/DRM removal tool for SHV that i find, I have little doubt that there will be one.

I will Pay full price for my pre-ordered legit copy of SHV
I will not have my SHV playing time messed up because UBIs servers are are out of action every other day.

So if the DRM goes ahead, i just hope the servers to up to scratch, I do not want to be forced to break the law.

I'd say you summed up my thoughts on every point exactly. I am in complete agreement with you.
