no, there is the other, slower option of dial up, which in my opinion is very lame and a waste of money

Actually, I don't think it would be that bad at all. The Dreamcast only used a 33k modem and the online games played perfectly with no slowdown at all. Therefore a 56k modem would run GC games perfectly. I'd still prefer it on broadband because it will run better than perfect.
It someone with broadband had a game against a dial-up user then the advantage would be on the broadband user as it has less, if any, lag time.

Belive me, the lag on a 56k modem is HUGE!
I played quake 3 on a modem and got a 150 ping which is really annoying!
On my 128k cable line though I can get pings of 15 easily!
The difference is amazing!
I hate playing games on modems though, I rarely did it!
