Background downloading will be added to the march firmware update. According to Engdget this is what's included:

Most of the updates revealed at this time look to be centered on the PS3's non-gaming abilities, with new Cross Media Bar multi-tasking capabilities that'll let you do voice or video chat while you browse the XMB or play games, as well as new audio playback animations, additional photo album features, auto-resume for downloads from the PlayStation Store, and "additional XMB display options"



Downloads take a while probably due to the location of the servers, I suspect that Sony's servers are all in japan but cant confirm it.

Your upstream connection is more important for online gaming than your downstream. So it's likely that any standard "broadband" connection will be fine for online gaming. I have one of the poorest downstreams going and my experience in Resistance has been virtually lag free for months.
