Well the "last mile" of my connectivity has a single point of failure, but the reality is that in the past 2 years, I've not had any network outages. My DSL is provided by Megapath Networks. One of the best quality DSL providers around. I'd love to have triple redundant OC48 connections, but I don't have that kind of money, and I am not enamored with co-location. > > However. > > It sounds like in your one instance you have a quality box and you > probably manage your server to the point it performs very well for the > people that do get good pings to your DSL provider. > > In argument for the people who buy/manage servers off data center > bandwidth, I think I can prove that 70%+ of all people /playing/ on a > server are playing on datacenter bandwidth.

It's cheaper than co-locating, and better than using a dedicated server.. I like having complete control over my hardware and OS setup. I certainly do more than run a HL server.

I pay $315/month for a 1.5mbit SDSL connection and run a server off of a P4 2.8Ghz HT, 2GIG ram and raid 5 disk subsystem.
