Apparently Steam is releasing later than everyone else because they can only release the product when the publisher says so. EA told them 10am PST on 3/2. EADM & D2D both had a pre-load and were activated early. I'm sure this is all a big ploy by EA to force people into buying from EA or D2D (who is owned by IGN/Gamespy) for a reason. Brick & mortar stores are only bound by the 3/2 date, so midnight sales are perfectly kosher.
The hate shouldn't be directed at Steam, it should be directed at EA. Valve/Steam are doing what their contract with EA states they should do.
Just remember folks, EA hates you.

It sucks about the wait but its better to have the game on steam than some shady D2D.

As for the speed, if everyone does what I'll be doing and let it run while we're at work/school, I'm assuming it'll go pretty slow, like 100kb/sec if we're lucky.
I'm just hoping that it'll be finished by the time I get home tonight which won't be until about 8-9pm CST.

Since everybody will be downloading this at once I assume it will drop another 300kb/s.
