Start my own BF2 server

[goku825]

Hi, I have a computer that I could use to host a BF2 server. I have checked the specs etc and it should be able to handle between 30 - 40 players. The only problem that I have is bandwidth. At the moment I only have 1mb broadband. I aint got a clue how many people that can handle but I know its not much (any ideas how many though?). Anyway I have seen the new sky broadband deal. Until the 16mb broadband reaches my area, they are offering me 8mb broadband but with a 40gb limit. I was just wondering how much of the 40gb would be used by the server in a month? Is this enough for the month to host a 30 - 40 player server? Would I also be able to play on my other computer in my house with this bandwidth at the same time as hosting the server from a different room?

Thanks for any help!

Re: Start my own BF2 server

I dont know the exact bandwidth specs, but BF2 uses a lot of bandwidth. 8mb down might be enough to host a couple of players, but you'd need some major upload bandwidth.
