XGS Clients,
We have noticed that some people in the MOH servers have been setting there sv_maxrate higher than allowed so this was part of our Banwidth increase. It came to my attention this morning so what I have done is added the maxrate into the command line to test for the next 24 hours if this will reduce the unusual banwidth usage we have been seeing with MOH. If this works then we may be able to actually lower the prices to the first rate that you signed up with but the only way we can actually test this is to monitor it for at least 24 hours. Please do not edit your server.cfg and add the sv_maxrate line leave it as is as we want to get a accurate amount from this. If you need to edit your server.cfg please download the one from your ftp so you dont overwrite the one we changed. Thank you for your patients and we are working hard to get our prices back to what they were before.
sv_maxrate what is it?
sv_maxrate is the amount allowed to transfer at a given time. The standard for the maxrate is 6000 as which level out the amount of information sent and recieved at one time per client. By setting the maxrate up DOES NOT lower pings or lag. Its just allows the people on faster lines to send and recieve some information quicker. By setting higher limit gives the ability for lower ping times players the advantage.

An sv-maxrate of 6000 for a hosted server, especially one by a company that says they have the best connnection on the net is a llama trick at it's worst.
What kind of shit are they pulling here. Trying to squeeze a 16 man server into a 768k connection? What are these guys using DSL to host their servers? This is stupid.
Tell me RudeDog , do you think the aa.com server should be choked down to 768k? I know they a trying to blow smoke up our ass over here as well.
XGS charges more then any of our other server host companies, and they have the poorest performance so far.
