i2d | ScruFFy | Posted January 3, 2006 CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 I am running 5 servers and just decided to cut the pings down on all of them , since alot of players were connecting with 180+ pings and i was in there and had over 110 to a connection in my house. So does it use less bandwidth to host players with lower pings than players with higher pings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is why you are hosting 5 servers at your house and not on a rack in a data center when they can give you the speed and network connection that would allow for lower pings?

6arett Posted January 3, 2006 CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 Maybe he has a rack at home and a really good connection at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted January 3, 2006 CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 Maybe he has a rack at home and a really good connection at home. Not many people have the same type of connections that Dataservers have... We are talking OC connections and some serious hardware to get that stuff running.. Plus any home connection unless it is a business class connection you are going to get crap for uploads and even then you are sharing bandwidth with all of the other people on the node..

richcornucopia Posted January 3, 2006 CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 I think hes got a t1 which would be good for hosting but I don't know about 5 servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdf216 Posted January 3, 2006 CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 I think hes got a t1 which would be good for hosting but I don't know about 5 servers. Maybe but my cable connection will walk all over a T1, and I wouldn't risk more than 1 server on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i2d | ScruFFy | Posted January 3, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 Maybe but my cable connection will walk all over a T1, and I wouldn't risk more than 1 server on it. Umm your cable connection isnt sh*t compared to a t1. lol Try hosting on that and see if you dont get capped . It is a shared connection with alot of people and a T1 is shared with no one besides yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted January 4, 2006 CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 a T1 usually has priority over regular dsl and cable lines while surfing the net and running servers cause they pay more for it and guarantee pings and packets. cable doesnt and pings are also higher in cable and no where near as stable as a T1.

It is a shared connection with alot of people and a T1 is shared with no one besides yourself. LOL Let's see T1=1.5 Mbps up and down ... My connection 15Mbps Down/ 2Mbps Up. do the math.. which is better? And I can't be capped there's a reason I pay $100 a month just for my internet. and the last time I heard Fiber optic lines eliminated the "shared cable" problem. I'm on an all fiber connection.

i2d | ScruFFy | Posted January 5, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 5, 2006 Ya , ok , your connections is shared , remember that and you cant host on that line anyways. Post a tracert and lets see the unconsistency of cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunted 2 Posted January 5, 2006 CID Share Posted January 5, 2006 alot of cable isp's have fiber optics and mine does also but its still shared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resijs Posted January 6, 2006 CID Share Posted January 6, 2006 Sorry, it's shared. All home connections are, and FIOS for that speed down here is $50, and the $100 is for 30 MB/s down and 5MB/s up, what do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just- Posted January 6, 2006 CID Share Posted January 6, 2006 so to answer your question: Does a server with lower pings use less bandwidth? No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted January 6, 2006 CID Share Posted January 6, 2006 i2d | ScruFFy | it might if you have a smart server, it all depends on your os. i know that windows advance server 2000, and 2003 will feed more bandwdith to people with higher pings then people with lower pings. it tryes to ballance out the system, so everyone is almost the same.

All home connections are, and FIOS for that speed down here is $50, and the $100 is for 30 MB/s down and 5MB/s up, what do you have? True but FIOS won't let you host servers use p2p etc. . and obviously nobody has heard of RoadRunner Business Class, Dedicated fiber lines for running your own web servers I guess.

Blunted 2 Posted January 6, 2006 CID Share Posted January 6, 2006 just because they offer dedicated fiber doesnt mean you can get it cause fiber has to be where you are and if its not have fun paying for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted January 6, 2006 CID Share Posted January 6, 2006 what exactly is this thread about? T1 vs Roadrunner. That is a no brainer T1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
