How many players can a cable internet connection support?

[DJ_9mm 10]

does anyone know roughly how many players a cable connection can reasonably support when hosting a server? my connection is about 2500kb/s down and 400kb/s up, as measured by dslreports.com. the upload speed is the limiting factor, right? thanks.

since up(up = out) is the key from a server stand point, not more than 5-8 players. Possible that 5 may be too much, depending on the arma.cfg and the mission you are using.

ok, thanks. 8 should be an acceptable number of players for my "tanks only" mission. i'll try it.
