I have been using xfire for a while in FPS games such as Battlefield on a 2meg line (4 times less than yours) and that hasn't affected the speed as far as I've seen.
The only problem you might get is that when your net connection gets dropped, xfire does not automatically activate it again. |

Woohoo now Assistant Manager!
