Blizzard would not shoot themselves in the foot by forcing people to
have high throughput to play the game.  While most people (ahem, gamers)
in the USA have upgraded to higher speed connections, there are still
many millions of potential customers around the world who can't either
because of cost or availability.

As always, you will still need a low latency connection to play.
