A 100MB connection should be fine for your needs.
With over 650 players, your speed will be:
6.5 MB/s out
2.6 MB/s in
I'm speaking out of knowledge. I've had it in the past.
Also, it should handle 1000 players. Not more though, or you will have serverlag.
I have NAT, and with 650 players on ( Legendgamers Gunz ) my pings to my own country was between 24-30 and the other pings were 40-50 that isn't bad for someone with NAT
On Restyle there were 60 online, and my pings to my country were: 30-39 and other pings 50-70
On Hurricane Gunz there were 10 online and i had 9-23 pings and the rest 30-35
u just need a lot of money for ur server to handle 1000 players something like 50-100 euro (im european)
it needs to be something like 70-120 dollars
Your Computer Specs are overkill for gunz, but connection speed could be a problem
If i remember right its between 2-4 kb/sec per person connected to the server (at least with WoW it was) so if you have problems with connection speed causing error/lag, instead of using reg pages based of computer use your webhost, or register a free webhost, and use ODBC type admin panels/reg pages/ watever else you use for webpages (even your updates for GunzLauncher).... since most web servers are based off of MySql instead of MSSQL, ODBC is needed to allow a connection to be made, but in the end it will allows for easier management and better speeds (even CPU usage) on the host comp/ website
Try other connections
well my average speeds on net are 110mb/down and 32mb/up that means its not the max or speedtest cant show the real amount of speed... anyways 10MB upload is enough Download speed have anything to do with that.. its how fast you load data on server to others. you are the hoster. they loads
Lol, 2GB of RAM is enough for 1,500 People online. It could even hold 2k.
You do need a decent Internet connection and Enough Bandwidth.

A Starter/Value VPS is just fine for hosting a GunZ Server. I use one and there is no lag and is perfectly fine with 70+ People online. But, Of course thats no strain on the VPS.
If yo do go with VPSLand or any other company, I wouldn't suggest geting a VPS/Server with less then 512MB's of RAM. Reason is, You will be barely able to do much with MSSQL Client and what not without having to restart the server a bunch of times because you run out of RAM. But, There is other ways around that. xD
Anyway, Like I said, I suggest the Starter/Value Plan is perfectly fine.
