Hi there ipmaster, thanks for the compliments!
I'm afraid you won't get that amount of players at that tickrate on your server, you need 1024kbps to run a 14-16 player server at 33 tick. So I think you'll have to make a choice to either lower the amount of players to 8, maybe 10 on 66 tick or run in 33 tick and have 14 players.
Here are 2 configurations one for the 33 tickrate and one for the 66 tickrate:
33tick, 14 players:
sv_minupdaterate 20
sv_maxupdaterate 100
sv_minrate 5000
sv_maxrate 9000 (you'll have to work with values between 9000 and 10000 and see which causes less choke/lag)
66tick, 8 players:
sv_minupdaterate 20
sv_maxupdaterate 100
sv_minrate 5000
sv_maxrate 15000 (this shouldn't give any problems at all, if lags does show up lower it with 1000 each time untill it's gone)
As you can see everything is the same except the maxrate, the first 3 values are "universal" values, they can be entered into any dedicated server no matter what you run ( from 33 to 100 tick, 2 to 60 players ).
The minrate can be changed to whatever value you like, below 4000 will allow 56k people to play, above 4000 will disallow 56k people to play, since this is a bigger server or 66 tick I chose to disallow them.
How do I calculate the maxrate? Well it's not a secret, here's the formula I use, it works for every server no matter what tickrate.
bandwidth * 128 / maxplayers = maxrate (where bandwidth is in kbps)
You can play with this value a bit, it's never exactly accurate since every server is different.
I hope this is everything you wanted to know, if you have any other questions feel free to ask,
Drocona

Cool thanks...
I live in Quebec Canada and I just want to run a great server from my house... but I don't find any ISP that provides a better upload and worse download... like 8 Mbps Down / 3Mbps Up... they all get higher in the Down speed... does anyone know a good ISP that will give me a great upload speed?

I know google... but I haven't found anything that have my specs... I've found some 100 Mbits line... but its too costly for me... it's like if there is no middle... always less than 1 Mbits or more than 50... but why there isn't 3-5 Mbits...
To be clear with everybody, we always talk about upstream or upload... (I dont want to reveive some post that tell me something like: I have 10 Mbits with Videotron... no... if you have 10 Mbits with Videotron, it's because you have 900 Kbits Up)
To be clear... I can't find any ISP that is not too costly... let's say about 80 $ CND approx. that give me 7 Mbits down and 3 Mbits up or approx...
So if someone know one (Quebec, Canada) please tell me
Thanks again...
ipmaster

really, any connection for home use (non commercial) won't get that high.
it's based up on simple people that want internet and download por....music.
Every business line will skyrocket in price, it's very expensive. I can't find a good solution here in Holland either. it's 100$ for 1mbit upload and after that, a business line costs 500$+ for 1mbit...
You might be able to get 2 lines of 3 mbit upload to your home, that really is the cheapest and best solution available, however most ISP's don't allow this or cannot provide it at 1 location.
