Checkout the prices on sdsl from speakeasy.net, very competitive
solutions.  I'm thinking of switching over to them from my provider as
768 sdsl is $289/mo here.  Speakeasy is $150 for the same package.  I
run a 16 man cs game from this and it's pretty reasonable game play for
almost everyone.  I'm not maxing out the line which makes a big
difference, there's nothing but the server on it running hlds.

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.  I currently
have Cable, but am hoping to achieve better speeds via DSL. My choices
are 384K/384K, 1.5Mbps/384K, and 768K/768K.  At the very minimum I would
like to be able to run at least a 10 player CS server on this line.
Pricing for the 768K/768K is about 170.00 a month...  ouch !!!

My question is this.  Does anyone think that the 384K/384K or the
1.5Mbps/384K would be enough bandwidth.  Of course taking into
consideration also that these are theoretical speeds and may never
actually be achieved.  Anyone out there running a server on DSL at these
speeds.

Any advice/comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Coroner
