Ok, well at the moment I am with virgin and I get 10 Mb/s download and around 0.5 Mb/s upload. I would like to host a server now and again for mine craft and a few other games such as L4D and gmod for just a few people, 5 at most. However my upload speed means that I cannot do this. So I was wondering whether any other ISPs offer better upload speeds without a big jump in cost. I was looking at BT and they say that they offer 10 Mb/s upload, do customers actually get this or does anyone know of a different good ISP?
Well Virgin, I would say is currently the best. Upload speeds in the UK are absolute crap, if BT say you can get 10Mb/s upload then go for them. However it will more likely be around 800KB/s upload. However that's fine for hosting a server.
I use virgin and i'm on the 20mb/s package (really 1.2mb/s) and I have a max 100kb upload, I can host servers fine on Mount and Blade, Minecraft and some other games with around 3 friends. So you should do fine if there aren't that many people. No need for an immediate upgrade.
