The server connection is what limits it not yours, even if you had a
home internet connection.
Just curious, what type of connection do you have, it is not often when
people list their client upload speed above a megabit and seem to know
what they are talking about (ie. you don't seem to be mistaking your lan
speed for wan, like many people do)

The server, I'm unsure of, but my connection is 10mb down 5 up.
Well if you indeed have a connection something to the effect of dsl,cable
ect it's not a bandwidth problem with you.If the server is full say 32
players or so and the server is choked for bandwidth then that would cause a
latency rise across the board.But remembering your first post didn't you say
it was only you and a few other people?It could also have something to do
with the ip routing to and from the game server.Because if you have a 10/5
connection more than likely you are on a fiber switch ect and I know mine
had major issues for awhile with the setup the isp gave me.Run a tracert
while ingame when you are lagging and see what's going on,and it wouldn't
hurt either to run perfmon in windows if that's what you are using and see
whats going on with the computer.
