Don't go virtual.
Your upload is your bottleneck... 640k will allow for ~20 players @ rate 20000 HOWEVER because of how DSL works ( which that appears to be what you have ) if you cap your upload, you will kill your download thus resulting in horrid pings for all...
My recommendation, don't host a game server on that connection...
I my self have a horrid upload...

Depends, generally home connections have horrible pings to other homes because they weren't designed for home to home speeds.
So probably greater than 40 ping or so.... Unless you live in a major city then you might get some 20's.

640k will not get close to 20 players, depends what tick though.
rate 30000 with a 512k 100tick got me to around... 4 players.

I have to agree with this as well.
Rate 10000 with 250fps 100tic = 10-12 players without lag on your server.
It would be better just to not even bother unless you want to try it out for fun?

Do it on 33tick and would could get a potential of 8players with a rate of 15000. Your hardware should handle it, barely!

This a joke?
His hardware is more than enough to run 4 1000FPS 100TICK servers @ 11 slots each, wait actually 2 per core if hes on a properly optimized linux install.

That's an abysmal upload speed. It'll kill ya pretty dead. Stick to either a small server, or get a dedicated server or a gameserver from one of the 986387256735256732 companies out there.
