Your CPU isn't brilliant either, but it should handle it ok
In that post you say 14kbit per second per player, while it is 144kbit (18kByte) average.
144kbit (18kByte) * 16 players = 2.3mbit (288kByte)
Add a bit for spikes/full server you'll need at least 2.3mbit upload.
Also:
((1.8 * 1000)/8 )/14 = 16.07
1.8 mbit * 1000 = 1800 kbit
1800kbit /8bits = 225kByte
225kByte / ?14kbit? = somewthing weird cause it's not correct
225kByte / 14kByte = 16.07 slots
I think you made a typo in your first post about the 14kbit being kByte instead, cause you treated it that way in your formula. I understand how you came to the 16 players.
However, the 14kByte per slot is a bit on the low end , for a 66tick it MIGHT just work, for 100 it's not enough.
