According to http://server.counter-strike.net/howto.html "Ideally a server will be running through a DSL or T1 connection. If you do have DSL, we suggest having at least a 512K upload."
>From my own experience, my 16 player CS (1.1) server maxed at approx 350kbits/sec (both ways) when full. it also ran halfd and adminmod. This would pretty much max a 384 upload.. and the closer you get to maxing the DSL, the worse the performance will be. 384/284 is right out... of those 3 choices, the 768 would be the way to go if you are serious about running a server. but don't go much over 16 players max. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Coroner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 4:49 PM Subject: OT: Is DSL enough > > Hello hlds_l gods, > > Slightly off topic question as noted in the Subject line. > > I am in the process of purchasing a DSL line for my house.
