If you can try FiOS (mine is from Verizon) 20/5MB. It can pull over 3MB/s from Microsoft and other large boys. I think Steam must limit download speeds as I average 1.5 and I have had 3 systems downloading at the same time and they all were getting around 1.5.

The aup/tos prevents you from so much as passing gas when using the service, heaven forbid I might actually do something that consumes excessive bandwidth. They give you bandwidth but don't you dare actually use any of it. Unless you have their very badly overpriced business class service. Then you get good service, pay too much for it, and their support people are retarded. Comcast is todays AOL. I have 10Mbps/768k. DSL. And more then adequate to host 16 people in my OP4 server. All unblocked, all mine to max out 24/7. I get max bandwidth of 10mbps when downloading from Steam. And it costs me $50 a month (or is it $60? I forget...). I do wish I had more upload speed. 768k is nice, but more would be better. To be honest, I don't really need 10mbps down. It was the only way to get the 768k up in the package. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cc2iscooL" <cc2isc...@gmail.com> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Saturday, July 25, 2009 3:12 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Group Banning And You > You have to realize that some people just don't need a 100 mbit line > to their house (though it'd be neat.) > > 6mbit/768k is just fine with me.
