Server usage (I got fast download no upload)

[OldskoolHardcore]

Hi everyone, disregaurd the name I was in this shit clan years back. Im paying £15.99 from tiscali a month for supposed 256k connection, recently I can download at 128kb-220kb/sec but only upload at 20-30kb/sec.

Just wondering if i could make a mta server what could the maximum it hold be? and what speeds am i reciving at.

paying for a 256kbps connection and you can download at over 200k a second, your getting a bloody good deal. and with only 30k/s upload, you probably couldnt handle more than 5 player server, if even that.

Im sure he means 128 - 220kilobits/sec

I used to be able to host for between 5 and 7 in 0.3/0.4 on 30kb/s upload, but i guess it would be 4 or 5 now

The rough calculation used to be around 2-3k x number of players x number of players. Now you are probaby looking at 3-4k x #p x #p.

The best way (as it says in the Docs) is start low and work up until the lag gets bad. You really don't have much of a connection tho so I'd not try more than a 2 or 3 player server.
