I doubt that your single-hone bandwidth provider for your DSL provides the same quality of pipe people get at some quality carrier hotels and datacenters.
However. It sounds like in your one instance you have a quality box and you probably manage your server to the point it performs very well for the people that do get good pings to your DSL provider. In argument for the people who buy/manage servers off data center bandwidth, I think I can prove that 70%+ of all people /playing/ on a server are playing on datacenter bandwidth. This is NOT the same statement as most servers are run off of datacenter bandwidth (I think the opposite is true, I'll try to prove the point. - maybe that will convince Valve to change their listings alg.) - Shane PHXX.NET Simple-Share.net W00t.net - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Norton Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2004 2:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re[2]: [hlds] RE: ServerList Destroyed::::Please take time to read On Sat, Sep 18, 2004 at 10:42:33AM -0800, Ooks Server wrote: > It's not really a war, but there are those that tend to look down their > noses at those with home based servers.

I pay $315/month for a 1.5mbit SDSL connection and run a server off of a P4 2.8Ghz HT, 2GIG ram and raid 5 disk subsystem. Just because my server is at home, I doubt that it provides sub-par game play... > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Monil Patel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2004 8:25 AM > Subject: RE: Re[2]: [hlds] RE: ServerList Destroyed::::Please take time to > read > > > >Since when was this a war about how much someone pays to have their server > >up? > > > >Kind Regards, > > > >Monil Patel > >Network Manager > >Reload Network > > > >>-----Original Message----- > >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds- > >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ooks Server > >>Sent: 18 September 2004 18:02 > >>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>Subject: Re: Re[2]: [hlds] RE: ServerList Destroyed::::Please take time > >>to > >>read > >> > >>Translation: How can you have the balls to complain about anything that > >>effects your puny crap laggy 3 man server run on a Pentium 1 with a > >>Comcast > >>100kbps cable home connection when us big boys pay big bucks for our uber > >>top notch PROFESSIONAL state of the art massive bandwidth servers?
