• How many slots can my intrnet connection handle?

Hey, I plan on temporarily running a TF2 server off my home connection. I was wondering how many slots my connection can handle. I have a 10Mbit downstream and a 2Mbit upstream. [URL=http://www.speedtest.net][IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/656643821.png[/IMG][/URL] (Ignore the downstream, it spikes at first then levels off at about 12,000Kbps) I already am downloading the TF2 server content through the HLDSUpdatetool so the server will be dedicated (as opposed to a listen server). I plan on installing SourceMod and running only one map (achievement_solddemoachievs) with a low respawn time ( < 5 Seconds). What's your recommendation on how many slots I should run?

All of them.
Well I'm running a server with 10 slots (and then there's 8 bots on top of the 10), and nobody has experienced any lag since I started the server (couple hours ago). Although some are experiencing higher pings ( < 80ms) there is still no lag.
