I have been asked alot on how to figure how many players a server can support. First you have to know your "UPLOAD" speed. A server at it's minimum needs 40k per player. So here is the formula, I'll use my upload speed. My upload sucks at only 256k (3m download)  256k divide by 40k = 6 players This is a good starting point. Pings should be in the 67 to 233 range. If you see all the players pinging in the 1000's, cut it back 2 players. Check your speed, do the math, and give it a try! Bandwidth Speed Test |

A 465.5 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 323807 bps, or 316 kbps.

3679kbps / 40k = 91.75 ppl How can my server hold 91.75 ppl?  Forget about these tests.....on my own experiments: -My server works best when there is less than 11 ppl BUT because the mod I run is kinda of large, it slightly lags the server so really 8 is max. -I can hold 12 or 14 without a problem when I am not signed online elsewhere and am not running any other programs and am not running modded server. |

Pilfered this from the Bungie forums:
Internet Connection:
*these are aproximate values, all speeds are in kilobits not kilobytes, and "no lag" means no lag caused by your connection
<128K Upload ~ 2-4 players with or without lag depending on the connection.
128K Upload ~ 2-6 players with no lag
350K Upload ~ 2-8 players with no lag
512K Upload ~ 2-10 players with no lag
756K Upload ~ 2-12 (maybe 14) players with no lag
higher than 756K upload will allow you to make a server for the maximum of 16 players with no lag

lol... 3111 / 440 Your download speed : 3111 kbps or 388.9 KB/sec. That is 18.2% worse than an average user on adelphia.net Your upload speed : 440 kbps or 55.1 KB/sec. That is 22.1% worse than an average user on adelphia.net Except, I did this while running a server with 11 people in it... How much do you think that affected it? I wonder if it meant that was how much I had left... cause that would be cool  We pay for 768 upload, but the Adelphia guy said we got a full meg. Dunno. EDIT: Ok, without the servers, here's what I get: 3375 / 874 Your download speed : 3375 kbps or 421.9 KB/sec. That is 10.7% worse than an average user on adelphia.net Your upload speed : 874 kbps or 109.2 KB/sec. That is 56.3% better than an average user on adelphia.net I like that one better, lol |

I'm making my server but I don't really know what I'm doing. My speed is 4 mb down and 784 kb up.
If anyone could help me with setting up the rest that would be great. Thank you

you can do one person caf you need at least 45 K upload for each client otherwise they will lag to hell and back.
