I don't think you need to have that high a speed in order to play a game through your Steam account.
Steam does not always have to be connected. I have played games where I am connected to Steam and then my Internet connection cuts out. The game does not stop nor is there any problems later on when I re-log in to Steam. I don't know what happens if you are not connected in the first place when you start up a game.
From what I can tell, you can access your Steam account and games through any computer you're at. But, you need to download the Steam program/app and you need to download the game to that computer.
I purchased Civ V a week back or so ago and it's VERY nice. It seems a little slow on my MacBook Pro i7 2010 but it plays fine.
