30Mbps(down)/4Mpbs(up) = 35€ for me :mellow:
So it's around 49$ ...

Last note on the fans ( my PC is also running and online 24/7 ): 2 of mah 7 fans are still running but are extreme loud ( dunno the english word for Lagerschaden :D: ). PC now is 1 1/2 years old an was disconnected only 1 week in its life ( that was when i was on holidays ). Everything works fine but what i wanted to say is that many people dont want to have their PC running 24/7. Also some people think everything is working fine while their PC is on standby :D: Im pretty sure that no server app will be reachable in this case :):
Just to share a funny story:
Mah dad bought a multimedia station for watching movies from PC directly on his TV. The station is connected via cable to his router. His PC is on WLan. All is running fine, he just had to give the multimedia station access on Windows Media Player library. I tested it and it worked.
2 days later he called me and said its not working anymore. I grabbed mah car key and 400km ( 248.5 miles ) later i saw the problem. He had his PC in standby and was jumping around in front of the TV ( he wanted to threw the TV out of the window ) because he couldnt find a movie on the menu of the multimedia station :D: :D: :D:
( Maybe now you know why i wrote the part with the running PC 24/7 :): )
post removed found answer.
I have 2Mbit/s downstream and 512kbit/s upstream - 50 users online on territory battle map no lags.
well from my experience with 15 players in my server, on average they would take around 3kb-8kb on average with 60kb spikes so id defeinitly go with das's calculations.
i have 1.42mbps so thats around 175kb's got a capped download of 1mb's which is like 12mbps, and i was able to run 15 players with no lag.
always divide kbps and mbps and etc by 8 to get your actual speed.
I guess its about 15 players per 1mbps?

Pretty much, for every 1 megabit you can support about 15 people lag free guaranteed (you might be able to get more if they are sitting around in arch or something and they aren't getting any data sent to them about movements... (since that is a giant bandwidth hog))
My first server was in my friend's house, he had 1 MB upload, and it has supported 150 players online without lag.
Yeah...and is this 15 players on at the same time? Or 15 registered?

MB and mb are very different things, a megabit is 1000 bits (technically it is 1024 but so many people just use 1000) a Megabyte is 1024 bytes, 1 megabyte = 8 megabits you can easily fit 120 players on a 1 megabyte/s line and 150 if they arent in an area that has a lot of movement...
how if 1gbps ??
I have around 50+ on most of the time and they get some lag, like das said in high movement areas, players, mobs, etc. They usually lag a little only sometimes at NS. I have 24 down/3 up. I have calculated that 80 is max for this speed, but not recommended. Machine your running on definitely makes a difference. Try not to run a on-board nic card either. Slap in a pci card will get you a little extra. Also you would do yourself a favor not to use vbox (resource thief) instead install a full linux OS server.
