Out here in the real world, there are thousands of dedicated servers running from modest home connections. You don't need 1mbps upload to run a server unless you run a lot of servers and/or high player limits. I run a 12 player OP4 server and a L4D server on my modest 768k upload DSL, and it doesn't use half that bandwidth when fully loaded.
