OK. Take it from a tecchie:

1.5 megabytes per second is an amazing speed. When holding your mouse over your internet connection and it says 10 Mbps, please do not brag that you have an internet that goes as fast as 10 Mbps, that's just your connection speed. For 10 Mbps, you'd be paying a fuck of a lot of money, like 50,000 a year (I think that's a little on the low side, but w/e), and cable is usually around 400 Kbps, which is 0.4 Mbps. So if this guy's gettin 1.5 Mbps, it'll be good enough to host whatever the fuck you want.

When hosting a server, it is your upload bandwidth/speed that needs to be considered in addition to your download speed. I seriously doubt your DSL is 1.5mbp down/up. But at any rate, no this would hardly be enough to support a full 16 player server, even running in dedicated mode.

hmmm i have a 3.0mbps (no, not my connection speed) b/c i live pretty close to my school and i can pick up their wireless signal

and i talked to the guy and he does pay about $10,000 for it.....dont u love the school budget

well it does support 16 player they hooked it up early and called and told me. Another question: Like 90% of the time when i try to join a game it tells me i cant connect to the game server. Can this be fixed?

1.5 MBPS down.

For upload.. It's alot slower..

Yep on the speed test dont remember the exact numbers but it was 25x download and 4x upload faster than 56k
