I too feel physical pain in the face of 7133-speakers, and feel the unrepressable urge to do some real violence to these people whenever they rear their ugly faces.
I have broadband, and I could play online if I wanted to. But my connection still isn't so great. I've spent a grand total of... maybe five hours of play online, over the past three years. And it was the lag, the spammers, and the excessive power-gamers that turned me off of it. Not to mention that I happen to attract every moron that can somehow learn to use a computer, but can't learn how to do arcane things like 'speaking English', or 'using the shift key'.
Really. A place where the most common phrase is "hehehehe i mak u di stfu nub!!!1" is not a place I want to be. It is in fact a place that I want to destroy.
However, if you play alone online, you won't be bothered by these people. With 1.10 you never have to enter the chat before a game, and you can password your games each time you play, so you'll play alone.
If you have broadband, you really shouldn't experience lag, but if you do, who am I to say it shouldn't happen? What speed is your connection?
edit: .. and if you have broadband, aren't you online constantly?
