well ... it depends on how much bandwidth your AG session will require and how much bandwidth is available for you to consume on the DSL network. You could do a simple experiment to simulate the AG session and then sniff the network for the bandwidth requirements - then run something like the NLANR iperf from end to end across the DSL link and see if the necessary bandwidth is available.

Inorder to connect to multicast network at SingAREN, I am in the midst of setting up a dedicated 1GB link from my site to the SingAREN. However this 1GB link will not be ready until late April. As an interim solution to connect to SingAREN Internet 2, my network people here is coming up with a tunnel solution through the DSL network for the period Mar and April. This is not a dedicated network. It will be something like a WAN. Will this interim solution work for AG? Or will it become a serious bottleneck?
