Internet question

[The Deco]

OK so here it is, since im dedicating a server (using hlds) and my upload speed is too weak for a decent amount of players without lags I want to ask if its possible to upgrade your upload speed without upgrading your download speed so it will cost cheaper since I don't MUST have a faster download speed..

So is this possible? Certain ISPs, need to know everything and I do mean everything, thanks.

Truly, I haven´t seen any internet provider doing so. If you wish to have a better and faster upload rate, you most likely have to upgrade your whole package, which also enhances your download speed.

 

[The Deco]

Damn, maybe theres special deals? Did anyone of you got into that?

Never heard of special deals for regular non business costumers.
They are pretty strict.

if you want a higher upload speed, I'm afraid you'll have to up your bandwidth by getting a better package.
You could also rent a game server.

Indeed, servers are cheap these days. And I think especially for Half-Life 1

 

[The Deco]

very cheap, I surely think paying 30$ per month for something not so necessary is very cheap... Or do you mean like cheap, 5$ cheap?

Depending on how much slots you wish to have. I think it is like, 3 dollars a slot for public, and 2 for private usage? I don´t know. Depends where you want to get the server from.

 

[The Deco]

What is private? Password?

 

[Skyrider]

Private means that the server is always locked, so public people cannot join without a password. As long you choose a private server, you are not allowed to remove the password.

99 cents a slot. (private).. thats HL: Team Fortress, but you should be able to change it to any mod easily as its being on hl 1.

hmm thats 15 dollars, not cheap...


Maybe 1 of you knows if there is a game server supplier that gives like first week free try or something like that?

 

[Prozac]

expensive indeed

unschooled, you'd need to work just over a hour each month to afford it.
but yeah that's in the Netherlands.

I cant possibly work a full year while at school, and I don't think renting a server is much of a smart choice to throw my money that I earn now... thanks for the help though

 

[Skyrider]

15 dollars? Not cheat? That´s like, cheap for a 15 slot server honestly.

 

[The Deco]

It is relative, if you got a permanent money source which ables you to afford it, and its important enough for you, its possible, I won't have a job in the middle of the year and the job I have now is to save money for a PC im thinking of buying..

 

[Skyrider]

Truthfully, if you are able to afford an ¨upgrade¨ that you had planned to only update your upload rate, then you are able to afford a server. Why do you think the download speed is mostly faster than your upload rate? Because upload is more expensive. Thus, even if it was possible to ¨upgrade¨ your upload rate only, it would be way more than 15 dollars. So once again, how were you planned to afford an upgrade (if it was possible), if you can´t even afford more than 15 dollars a month?

Because if im upgrading my internet, my parents are paying for it, since they already paying for the internet, im still at school. I need to check what is the best deal I can get. And I won't ask my parents to buy me a server of course
