is 3G considered 'true broadband'?

Hi All
So with regards to the Diablo 3 latency fiasco, after someone mentioned it, I checked my game box and it states Broadband internet connection required, which now has a disclaimer on their support site: link of

Note: Be advised that some wireless connections do not meet the minimums required to be a true Broadband internet connection. Wireless results may vary.

Now I have both 8ta's 10Gb GO BIG link
which states "Fantastic value - lowest broadband rates!"
and MTN's Uncapped lite link
which is also referred to as broadband : link

So who's at fault here, is 3G not true broadband or should blizzard have explicitly stated on the box the disclaimer that is on their support site?

No

No

GPRS/EDGE and 3G do not meet the world's requirement for broadband. HSDPA does, however.

No.

Yes

3G allows for speeds of close to 100Mbps, and I think that is widely considered to be broadband.

The problem is that people now use the term 4G instead of 3G for technologies like HSPA+ or even LTE - which is technically not correct.

No? Great so can I complain to some authority over the use of 'broadband' in their product descriptions and get my 24 month contracts cancelled?
Since I cannot do what is implied under 'broadband' with them?
