Windows Live/LAN

I noticed that on the front of the box it says "Games for Windows" which in my experience means it uses Windows Live for multiplayer. Having UaW (Universe at War) I would have to say WL makes SoE look good. Having to pay a monthly fee to unlock all modes of multiplayer was a great way to piss off a lot of people. So my question is does Sins actually use Windows Live and if it does are you limited with a basic subscription (free sub).
As far as LAN goes UaW has a limiter for 30ms I believe(could be lower), where if the ping is above 30ms then the game will not appear on the session screen. My other question would be is there a ping limiter for LAN games. Since when ever I goto a LAN party or I host one I use a wireless connection, since both myself and my friends don't want 20 25ft CAT-5 cables zig-zagging everywhere across the room. While using a wireless network I can never achieve a stable ping under 30ms.
If these questions are already answered in another thread, link away. I looked through the Multiplayer forums and I could not find anything. Thanks for your replys in advance.

They've always shown such commitment to their games (not that companies allowing Windows Live or any other such browsers don't do this).
