The Peeler's right. Internet connection speed has absolutely nothing to do with the game speed once the game's loaded. It only checks at startup.

Also, if you're like me, you rarely reboot and keep OOTP open at all times, for days and days at once. If you're like me, you won't need an internet connection very frquently.

But, then again, you might not be like me, and more like the bunch of people for who it really matters that have expressed themselves agaisnt the verification process.
