Yes, that's fine. But remember ADSL is Asynchronous. This means it cannot send and receive at the exact same time. It can only do one or another. This greatly reduces the performance of a game server utilizing an ADSL connection. Game servers uses UDP protocol which more relies on a synchronous connection, like a T1 or SDSL. I hope this helps
