Try and see if it works. Simply lower the maxrate on the server to super low and that will compensate for your home internet.

so should i put in the server.cfg: sv_maxrate 100?

I ran 20 versus on a 50/5 connection. No lag at all without any special settings, however this was really the max. It was always between 200 and 500 kB/s. And, not only your bandwidth is important but your connection is too. If you have a direct connection to your country's backbone it will be a lot less laggy then when players have to go across 30 hops.
