You are going to see latency's of about 15-20 greater at least.

I used to be hosted in a datacenter, now I host from home. I have not seen a latency 15-20ms greater then before, at the most it is 5ms.

Seeing as you have likely never hosted from home before, you should probably stop giving false information. Or if you did host from home, you either had a bad network configuration, a bad NIC, or a bad connection.

You are the only one in here passing out false information. You come in here spreading bad advice and wrong ideas.

What did I say that was false?

I could take every post and quote it and show you things that are misleading. Back to the OP, just because you CAN run a server doesn't always mean you SHOULD.

Are you trying to BS again about how you shouldn't host from home or play on the same computer without giving a reason?.

I personally have hosted off the same computer I played on for over three months with a 24/7 server, pings below 80-100 (usually 40-60) and they experienced no lag.

Thus, I have concluded you are just ignorant. Yes, some people have a shitty computer or a bad connection. Yes, that means they should host from a dedicated server or a GSP. But not everyone has those issues.

I am not ignorant, and I am tired of you targeting senior members on this forum and its moderators. As Spartanfrog said, if you don't agree with the people on this forum who have spent years working with SRCDS, don't argue and get out. Feel free to disagree, but stop arguing with us.

I wouldn't even be arguing with you or anyone else in this thread if they just stopped spreading false information about how "You can't host from home" or "It's a bad idea to host from home" or "If you host from home you will see 15-20ms higher pings on everyone, at least".

When none of the above is true.

Look what you seem not to get is that the far majority SHOULD NEVER run a server from their home. You have a great internet connection. Great for you, but not everyone has this. You have the technical skills. Great for you, but not everyone has this. You don't seem too realize that not everyone is willing as you are. No one every said it was not possible, it's just not recommended.

I have hosted servers both at home, and at a datacenter. I used FOIS at first, which worked decently well as Verizon itself is a major network and peers with many others, but still the server was affected by congestion whenever peak loads were on Verizon's network (I.E. 6:00-8:00 pm). When I switched ISP to a Cable providor, it was cheaper , the server performed terribly which is when I hosted from a datacenter.

Plus, what is your server's ip?

When you mention peak loads, I'm curious about what your talking about. I've been with them for over a year and never noticed any download or upload issues. I've always been able to reach my maximum throughput, even before I switched from residential to business (needed the static IP).

Any ISP with 1Mbps+ upload will be fine for a properly configured CSS server (33tick, low rates). Obviously you wont be able to host many slots with that upload, but it could work.

Right down the street from me is a townhouse community and a street over is an apartment complex. When most of the people were on, about 6:00-8:00, my upload would decrease by a decent amount. I would also never recommend hosting a server with Comcast or Cablevision as both use bandwidth caps. Once you use up x amount of bandwidth, they start throttling your connection which basically kills your server.

Sounds like a network issue, I would give them a call over it.

No it's actually quite normal with 99% of Cable internet providers. The problem is how shared cable communications are with other people.

Verizon FIOS, thank god, is not a cable provider.
