Okay I was thinking of making a dedicated server and getting rid of my listen server. My download speed is 5291kbps and my upload speed is 654kbps. Here is a picture of my Speeds in Mbps:

You could make a dedicated server with 56k but it wouldnt do well. Your upload speed is horrible, so you wont be able to get many people on at all before it starts to lag.

HORRIBLE?! Wow. I never new lol. Well how many people do u think I can fit before lag?

Quote:
128K uplink = 4 players (2 players for srcds)
256k uplink = 7 players (4 players for srcds)
320k uplink = 9 players (6 players for srcds)
512k uplink = 14 players (9 players for srcds)
768k uplink = 21 players (14 players for srcds)
1024k uplink = 28 player (19 players for srcds - note 16 players is max for HL2DM)
1140k uplink = 32 players (max for HLDS) (21 players for CS:S)
1708k uplink = 32 players for CS:S (max)
I got that. So I can run 9 players?

Try what ever you like around 10 slots, if it's to laggy drop it down two slots. I can do 14-16 but my upload is 1.7 Mb/s avg. And thats a fortress forever server. Your not paying for the server so just do the trial and error thing.

Make sure to read your ISP's ToS.

#1 rule for running a good dedicated server is, you dont run one from a home connection...

Fyi.


(unless its for personal use, or some small amount of players, etc)
