Gday,
So I've finally convinced my dad to purchase a new internet connection.
Its 12/5 and its pretty decent imo.
How many slots can i run on this?
Mainly source games (e.g tf2, css, l4d etc).
I have the hardware to run 300 slots.
Just wondering how many it can support.

I believe you need atleast 40 Kbps upload per player/slot.
Also 1MB = 1024KB

I am sure you can do the math yourself

[Mike]

Um. Actually I can't do the math lol.
Do i need to multiply 40 with one and see how many i can get before hitting 5000?

[MainVoice]

Ok so first check out if you have 5 MB or 5 mb (1MB = 1024KB and 1mb = 1000kb)

Then simply divide th 5MB by the 40 Kb.

I believe there is a chart here: http://planethalflife.gamespy.com/View.php?view=HL2Guides.Detail&id=4&game=3

Hope it helps

[Mike]

Thanks alot!
Found out that i can host 125 slots on that line!
I find that to be alot lol!

Hope the hardware will be good as well not to mention you will have to make sure you dont have people on the line at your home downloading and uploading to affect any of your servers' performance. Happy fragging

I'll set the QoS to high priority on the server's port, and ill block every torrent program

usually the limits on home lines are much lower... simply try it out.

[Mike]

They aren't.
We are guaranteed that speed.

[Mike]

Thats what the thing said..
I took 5000 and divided that with 40.
Then i got 125.

Theres no way that you can run that many. I would say 50-75.

[realchamp]

On a 66tick connection that would give him about 35-40players on the same server.

Those information in the previously link are outdated and you can't really calculate it like that

[Mike]

Well, that's enough anyways.
Ill be hosting a 18 slot surf css server and a 32 slot tf2 server on it, so ill hope that its enough.

[Mike]

Sorry to bump this, but will the 5mbit hold to host two 20 slot servers?
