if your upload is really 900 kiloBYTES then the limitation will be on the server machine you use. sv_maxrate on 20000 and sv_maxupdaterate on 101
if your upload is 900 kiloBITS you will be able to run 16-18 players i think. For 18 players sv_maxrate of 6400, for 16 somewhere around 7200

I always have sv_maxupdaterate on 101 since it won't go above your tickrate anyways.
if you have a tickrate of 66 and maxupdaterate on 101 the max a client receives is 66 because it is limited by the tickrate.

so, you think with my 900kilobits, using sv_maxrate 7200, 16 slots, and sv_maxupdaterate 101 will be a good configuration?

It should be able to handle it pretty well.
If you have lag because of high pings you have to lower the maxrate a bit until pings are fine.
If you ahve choke lag you have to up the maxrate a bit untill the choke is minimal.
You have to fine tune it a bit untill you get the best result.

He gave you some settings to try, try those first and see if you experience lag or choke when server is full. Everyone's connection is going to be different, so the calculations that are out there are just general settings to use, individual optimum settings are ones that you will have to come up with based on your hardware/connection.

The settings I gave you were calculated by the following formula:
B*128/P = sv_maxrate
B= bandwidth in Kilobits
P= wished player slots
This is just a genral formula to use, but keep it real, I think when the sv_maxrate is below 5000 it isnt going to work, you will always get choke in your server.
As christy said this is just a genral concept which gives you pretty accurate settings, but since every connection and hardware is different you have to fine tune it to work optimal for your server.
