I presently have dsl 512/128
So just what is the recommended BW for a server of 16-20 players?

The big problem with hosting is upstream bandwidth (How much data your connection can send), this is typically the smaller number on ADSL connections.
As a rule of thumb you should allow 64Kbps per player.
However its kinda expontial hence you need more BW per player in big games and you can usually get away with a bit less in smaller games.
So on your connection you can probably handle a 4 player game.
However for a 16 player game you probably need:
16 * 64 = 1024
On the plus side you dont need much downstream so you could get away with:
256/1024
NOTE: Post edited KB/s -> Kbps
