I did a detailed test, results are here:
http://home.covad.net/~k25125/SteamyThings/rate_test.jpg
I did this test on an HLDM (HL1) server (same for CS 1.6) and client, HL2
servers and clients might have different (lower) maxrates.
the information (for HL1) is described here:
http://steampowered.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=166
sv_maxrate is valid from 0 (which means no set maxrate IE: whatever the
client is set for up to 20000)
if you do a "find sv_maxrate" on a SRCDS server it will return:
(def . "0") - Max bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited
where unlimited means any client rate from sv_minrate to 10000 maximum
(maybe 20000?).
sv_minrate and sv_maxrate are both in bytes/second.
there is also a detailed description of the multiplayer networking here:
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_Multiplayer_Networking
for HL2 Servers, I did find these comments in the
C:\HL2Server\platform\admin\helpfile.vdf
"sv_maxrate"
{
"text" "sv_maxrate:set the max data transfer rate in bytes per second for
any one client on the server.
Setting this to 0 or any value over 10000 defaults to 10000. Default:0"
{
"sv_minrate"
{
"text" "sv_minrate: set the min data transfer rate in bytes per second for
any one client on the server.
Setting this to 0 or any value under 500 defaults to 500. Default:0"
}
I suggest you do your own test as I did if you still have doubts.

there is no such thing as maxrate 25000
20000 is the maximum, always has been, therefore changing it from 25k to
20k won't make any difference.
Documentation reference please. I see no (min. "value") (max. "value")
in the cvar documentation for Source.
