Hi guys!
I'm going to get a new connection with 64MBit/s downstream and 5MBit/s upstream. So I was wondering if it is possible to host a L4D2-server locally at home through this connection. I already have an unused dualcore-pc here.

At the moment I have two questions about this:
1. Are 5MBit/s upstream enough for an 8-slot vs-server?
2. Some serverhosters have some kind of banners showing the detailed status of your server. How are they accessing the data?

thx in advance
