I'm not.
They're college students, not some massive ISP trying to limit their clients.

It is not, it's usually hardware that starts to suck.

True, but I got my figures from the network settings I have on my server (1024 packet size, rate-to-client 32) That multiplied by 64 players = ~ 14.5 mbps upload bandwidth for the server.

All I said was that it was possible on a business connection and I gave an example.

You are wrong ,I am not stupid. I have run speedtests and the internet here IS that fast. I said earlier that I live on campus and when I can get a good test server, the upload speed I get is over 90 mbps.
Edit: Not the best results, but its a good example
This one here shows the massive inconsistencies due to the test servers sucking
Greek2me:
Alright, that's fine and I believe you. Sorry, I thought you were mistaking your LAN for internet like a lot of people do. Anyway, a community member hosting on their own connection would be the best solution in my opinion, since there aren't the high monthly costs other than their regular price for internet.

That is exactly why I am offering to host if enough people are interested in actually using the servers. I say someone put up a poll somewhere to get an idea of how popular x type of server would be if hosted 24/7 on a (really) fast connection.
