When I say 'cable', I mean get a ADSL combined modem/router.
The router will connect to your phone socket downstairs, & accept the incoming DSL connection, you then run an ethernet cable to your PC,
or get a wireless modem/router, put a wireless card in your PC & connect to the wireless router (still downstairs) & send your internet wirelessly to your PC.
There's a wealth of info regarding wireless modem/routers in our Computers & I.T forum:

HTH.
[Edit]-I would suggest you get a wireless router, it will be much easier than getting a wired one & running an ethernet cable up the stairs to your PC!
