toasty2 Posted April 14, 2007 CID Share Posted April 14, 2007 I really want more upload speed (I host a gameserver and website from my house). Is it possible to get more? Does AT&T let you make custom plans? I'm not looking for a fiber connection though (way too expensive, and I'm a little too far away) Is there some kind of hidden plan they have but don't advertise? Right now I have the Elite package, it's the best one listed on their website. I get: http://randomresources.org/speedtests.html I really just want more upload and I only need around 2Mbps download, would they take a deal where I get a megabit or so less download and apply that to upload?

Nos7667 Posted April 14, 2007 CID Share Posted April 14, 2007 I really dont think a company like AT&T Would do such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasty2 Posted April 15, 2007 Author CID Share Posted April 15, 2007 They do provide specialized stuff for businesses (is that fiber only?), do you think I could get a custom business DSL or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted April 15, 2007 CID Share Posted April 15, 2007 I dont think any isp's really allow running of game servers to begin with - not for residential services....for business services, its a different story - you get more, but you also pay more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted April 15, 2007 CID Share Posted April 15, 2007 in the end, getting more pipe is just a question of how much you want to pay. any provider will hook you up with a special package at a VERY special price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have hosted a webserver for the past year or so, and a gameserver (for different games) for even longer. I have never encountered a problem where a port was blocked or speed was throttled down. DSL nope...Cable you bet. In what was this post commenting on? If you are saying that only Cable has more, you are wrong. Speeds vary by ISPs, not so much by service type. Most cable services have crappy upload, so that is definitely not the answer to my questions. I will call my ISP and see what kind of stuff I could get. Right now I'm paying $35/month.
