Is it just in Michigan that they cap it to that speed?

No pretty much all our connections here (The Netherlands) are limited to 128 kbps upload, download 1-3 Mbps unless you pay more of course.

my connection is 2mb down and 128k up. ISP's seem to really not want people to put up game/web/irc servers.

oh, this is in st. louis, mo, usa

 

[Lord Kordir]

Interesting. I thought you guys had it better

DAMN YOU ALL!!! :flame: :flame: :flame: :flame: :flame:
In my ct (pt) the fastest there is - 1mb down \ 518 up
And its 150€ per month.

Oh the horror...and the sweet, sweet succour of broadband.

ya, i believe the upload limit is to prevent the running of servers.

i pay 45$ a month for my 2meg down

First of all: Gabe mentioned that HL2 requires less data to be send per second than halflife1. They coded HL2 with a new approach. I emailed him and he tried so explain me that.

If I believe that is true what he said then HL2 don't require a standart default 512kbps down stream like some people are saying here.. maybe isdn will still do it! I don't care because in March I will get DSL.

Afterall a large connection will always be an advange because it's just simple better


back ontopic: I do believe HL2 MP will be a hit. That's why they capt it secret. I think it's somthing we have never saw. Maybe with vehicles HL2 will hopefully beat BF1942!
