This is the Data that steam have given as a guideline for player settings
Basically for internet connections (bits/second):
128k uplink = 4 players (2 players for srcds)
256k uplink = 7 players (4 players for srcds)
320k uplink = 9 players (6 players for srcds)
512k uplink = 14 players (9 players for srcds)
768k uplink = 21 players (14 players for srcds)
1024k uplink = 28 player (19 players for srcds - note 16 players is max for HL2DM)
1140k uplink = 32 players (max for HLDS) (21 players for CS:S)
1708k uplink = 32 players for CS:S (max)
Currently I am on a residential connection with 448kbps up.
I did raise a ticket for this and was directed to option 3 for business broadband which has double that speed.
I would be happy to go for that but is there any way at all, to up that speed? My thinking is if you can get 4.5Mbits down a copper wire why not up?
Now I'm not sure how the gateways and routers are configured or if this is even possible, hence I hand this over to you guys.
I'd be happy if 1-1.5 Mbit was possible. Very very happy.
Thanks for your time
Alex

If your exchange is not 21CN WBC enabled the best you can do is to either add it to your current product at a cost of £7.83 per month (see this page), or go for Business Option 3 which includes it.
If you are on an exchange that is 21CN WBC enabled you can ask for your upload speed to be uncapped which can in theory go up to over 1M but can vary depending upon your line.
There are various trials in progress at the moment which may give higher speeds if they are made generally available (and dependant on what BT do in your exchange).

Quote from: sandyt87 I'd be happy if 1-1.5 Mbit was possible. Very very happy.
If ADSL2+ is available to you then about 1.3mbps is generally available except on very long lines, subject to ISP/package restrictions.
(I get nearly 1.4mbps upstream on my ADSL2+ line)
With Annex M on ADSL2+ you can get up to 2.5mbps on SHORTER lines.
I believe BT may be trialling Annex M, buty generally only LLU providers such as Bethere can provide it reliably at present.

How far the UK is behind the rest of europe in terms of broadband infrastructure is disgusting. I mean we had a government (an old one) that thought 2Mbit was enough for us all. I bet they sat at home every night on a a line that had in excess of that. I applaud plusnet for their continuing support and investment into their end of the bargin as an ISP. BT need to get a shift on or we will be left behind.
Its got so bad that one village I saw in the news now has its own exchange completely separate from BT!!! Lucky sods

So there are a few technologies on the way but they are not mainstream yet.

Quote from: newthing and slightly shorter pings 21-23mSec
is that interleaved or fast path? i got 16ms on fast path on 21cn adsl2 on a 50db atten pn line line and this post office interleaved 63db+ atten line i get a stable 30ms to bbc.co.uk.
if am honest i have had a smoother gaming exprince with this PO line on interleaved, i find the e30's seem to give wee spilt second lag spikes pretty regular say every 30 seconds. not massive or soul recking but enough that i noticed it on the 21cn connection
am currently trying to worm my way onto fttc to see what gaming is like

It looks like sticking with PN you can double your upload at a price, but no further in the foreseeable future.
