1) No there are only 1 or 2 games that currently have any kind of protection on them and you won't get yourself banned like you would with XBL. 2) Most people using this are on broadband so I am certain that it is possible to get on. Are you using a router/networking device?

jesterrace777 cheers mate

Getting it chipped tomorrow am ;)

As for the connection ... got it connecting now but it is so slow i can't make it through the registration process ...

Its an ADSL router and works like lightening on my pc ... i'm hoping its just the time of night on the registration server but we'll see ...
