Give me ADSL2 internet connection and I'll host a perfectly fine Renegade server....Home connections are starting to become faster and faster. There are many ISP's who are starting to offer internet connections that would be more than enough bandwidth to host a server from your home. Can you host a 127 player server off your home connection? Probably not. But some home connections will allow you to easily host a 32-50 player server.

Ummm...yeah...I'm going to have to sort of, disagree there...

Sure you can get even 20mb downstream connections these days, but for hosting a server, its upstream that counts, and ADSL (even ADSL2), cable modems, etc have really crappy upstream. Your best bet would be SDSL, which by the time you got one with enough bandwidth to host a decent server, you could rent a dedicated cheaper.

ADSL2

optionally extends the capability of basic ADSL in data rates to 12 Mbit/s downstream and 3.5 Mbit/s upstream (with a mandatory capability of ADSL2 transceivers of 8 Mbit/s downstream and 800 Kbit/s upstream). Actual speeds may reduce depending on line quality - usually the most significant factor in line quality is the distance from the DSLAM to the customer's equipment.

LOL 3.5Mbit/s upstream (and thats the optimum..good luck even getting that) just won't cut the mustard.

FYI here is a current graph of the bandwidth usage of n00bsvr01 (Crimsons server):

index.php?t=getfile&id=5686&private=0

I seriously doubt anyones home internet connection could handle that. Not to mention the instabilty of running a 24/7 server at home (power outages, windows updates, hardware failures, opps I tripped over the cable, etc).
