Major Server Lag

[Frag444]

Hi I'm running a garrys mod server and when we get around 5-6 people the whole server jumps to 400-900 ping. I've also noticed this when i was running my css server when around 8 people got on.

My upload and download speeds are
download Speed: 15160 kbps (1895 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 1469 kbps (183.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
My proccessor is a
AMD 3200

My connection is ISP comcast cable.
1gig ram


Any help?

And Also How many people would this server Beable to support on a regular Hl2mp server

You are on a limited cable connection, try uploading a big file (50mb+) and see how long it took and calculate how fast the average transfer was.

high ping = connection can't handle

I got a megabit router Do you think it would help if i got a gigabit router?

[Spartanfrog]

Probably not.

[Drocona]

No it won't help, todays routers are all 10mbit+ for wired, or 11mbit+ for wireless.
