Below is what my ISP quoted me over the phone;

1.5 Mbps downstream / 512 kbps upstream

Below are the questions asked by MOHAAS Dedicated Server;

Max Players = ?
Min Ping = ?
Max Ping = ?
Max Rate = ?

Please help me optimize these four settings for my line freak:

That would be a cable moden, right. Your speeds are a little higher than mine, but about the same. Go to dslreports.com and run thier speed test to see what the real world speed is. I have my max players set to 8. I have had it set as high as 12, but recieved complaints of lag, so I turned it back down. My max ping is set to 250 and the min is 0. I have found that if your ping is higher than 250 your game suffers. Go join some game with a 250 ping to see what I mean. You need the min set to 0 so you can join the game on your LAN. Don't want to lock yourself out. That leaves the rate which is the amount of time the server spends with each client. There is a formula (upload speed / (# of clients * 8) = sv_maxrate) in the guides section at mohadmin.com which will allow you to calculate your rate. I have my rate set to 3000. I have had it set as high as 5000, but would get complaints of lag from 1 player (out of 6 or 7 in the game). I hope this helps dude.

Today I configured my settings as;

Max Players = 16
Min Ping = 0
Max Ping = 100
Max Rate = 5000

I had 12 users on my dedicated server with the highest ping @ 85, so I was pretty happy with everything except I had a few users that would get past the built in 100 max check performed on connection then once in the game these few users would rocket up to 150 so tomorrow I'm implimenting CrowKing's Autokick on another computer to keep a steady eye on my servers ping stability.

[Johnj]

Well peoples ping's are goimg to spike like that from time to time due to the amount of traffic on the Internet. If nobodys ping ever goes over 150 you might want to leave it alone and see if anybody complains. Where is your server located and what is it's IP. I'd like to drop in and check it out.

Dude I stopped by your server this morning. There was only one other guy in there and after I killed him he never respawned.He might have been asleep or something. Anyway I'll drop in later. Do you run any other maps.

Also what part of the country is your server located in.

[Gameplay@it's_Finest]

Hi Johnj, I'm (dedicated evil to hosting MPSH'S Version of Stalingrad, MPSH team enhanced the map using smoke/fire and sound effects as well I incorporated MPSH Realism 3.1, finally I made sure to disable rockets and enable lean while running!

STALINGRAD: The Way It's Meant to be Played!

66.183.142.118

*Server is located on the west coast of Canada

Note: Once again today I averaged 12 users with a 85 ping average!

I tweaked my Max ping setting from 100 to a more generous 150 without lowering my average ping!
