Yeah, totally. I lived rural with a poor connection at the time.

Company had a remote server in a data centre for our CRM, website and such as we had people in three locations. total overkill really for what we needed in my opinion and it was 99% idle in the evenings.

So I used it to host half life deathmatch and team fortress back in the day when these were cutting edge. Four to six players each night having fun we couldn't have had otherwise.
