Contention starts to matter after the DSLAM, it could have an effect though from everything I've read in practise it shouldnt.

Personally I wouldnt consider ADSL for serious hosting, it can go down potentially for hours during which time your website would be unavailable. One other thing to check is that your ISP allows you to run a server on your connection, some don't allow this as part of their terms and conditions.
