CDBettler, Unless you're setting your max players to 3, you're going to have some unhappy laggers due to your limited upload.
(And unhappy parents/roommates/yourself if you try to surf using another machine.)
I keep the following in my server.cfg file for any Source servers I use. It works quite well.
// TIP for setting your rates. This tip is coming from a thread in www.steampowered.com forum. We can't guarantee if it really works.
// In case of LAG issue you can change the following lines.
//
// Maximum amount of bandwidth clients can use (0=unlimited, max=20000)
// Formula : sv_maxrate = bandwidth X 125 / number_of_slots
// Example :
// Assumptions :
// . upload bandwidth = 768 kbps and download = 10mbps. Take the lowest value (768).
// . slots = 10
// So : sv_maxrate = 768 * 125 / 10 = 9600
//
// Minimum amount of bandwidth clients can use (0=unlimited, 4000=good to keep dialup gamers off the server)
// Example : we want unlimited
// sv_minrate 0
//
// Maximum updates per second that the server will allow. Increasing this value will take more cpu power, 100 is max.
// Formula : sv_maxupdaterate = sv_maxrate / 300
// Example : with same assumptions than above.
// sv_maxupdaterate = 9600 / 300 = 32
Though it's been a while since I researched it, I believe your high tickrate increases bandwidth usage too (along with CPU physics prediction)
