as some of you know, ive had dial up for a long time. finally though, i got high speed internet from sympatico at $34.95 a month. it connects me at 3MBps and it can dl at 2.5MBps and upload at 800kbps. just wondering, do i have a good enough connection to host a server that isnt too laggy for 16 people(full server) to join?

that simply cant be, why do i always see tones of servers that are non dedicated even that host like 12 people, laggless, no lag at all and they claim they dont even have a T-1. if u connected at 100mbps and u can only host 6 id talk to my service provider about that. u should be able to host 32 with that connection. u can host 16 with a T-1 which isnt even as fast as what i have. someone elses opinion please.

I can with Broadband, so anything else above it....T1+ would work.

100mps isn't your connection,
www.dslreports.com that will tell you your connection.

Exactly, my comp is 384 kb/s but the connection thingy shows 100mb/s. So 100MB/s can't be your connection.
