• Server Bandwidth Speed/Amount?
    9 replies, posted
I have two options to choose from: Unmetered 7mbit connection or a 50mbit connection with 1TB allowance. I plan on running an RP server (DarkRP at first). I already have a small community which will hopefully grow once its up, for 20-30 users, which would be the best option to choose from? Unmetered would be preferable, but im just concerned about the speed?

Soo much better
The unmetered isn't needed, it would just be easier. If there would be a significant difference between 7mbit and 50mbit ill go with the 50mbit.
If you have a fastdl server on another server with a 100Mbps port, go with the unmetered.
If you get over 30 players a day. You will go over 1TB in about a week. Even though there is a big difference with 50 and 7. You won't really notice it with the server as clients on take the same rates as the tickrate (if you forced the settings)

I have several servers, two of which regularly have 25 - 30 players. We also run two websites and a teamspeak server on the same box, we haven't gone over 2TB/m yet.
