Well, I dont notice anything really bad with it set at 1500 in fact that is best for my cable server with 128K upload. I can host 8 peeps and keep players with DSL and cable pinging in the 100's - 150's. I did notice however that the 56ker's suffer 350 - 400 and not much better. I always have a busy server. fell free to check it out. 24.179.215.206 .
