Thanks in advance!

MC Servers relies just as much as you internet speed. Note that the more players you have, the more connection lag you will have.

Other than that, you will be fine, and it should be able to handle many players with decent internet

54mbit/s up/download

This is the actual speed you get from the ISP?

NOT the connection between you and the router. I ask, because 54Mbps is the default max WiFi speed for an 802.11g connection.

And what do you pay the ISP for?

He's in Korea, he's on Fiber. Asia is well known for it's fast internet connections.

But with that speed and that system, you won't have any issues hosting 45+ people. It's killing the minimum requirements.

I'd maybe recommend adding a second network card and load balancing in case one card fails for whatever reason.

Right. Which makes me wonder about the "54Mbps".
The line coming into the house may be one thing. After that...who knows.

Not in Asia, it's Fiber. 100/100 is standard. Many people get over 100 Mbps.
The fact it says "you are faster than 55% of the people in your area" kinda shows the average performance is right at that speed.

My home speed on DOCSYS 3.0 cable is 45 down, but obviously my upload is limited by my ISP and not my hardware.+

That's what I mean. The line coming into the house may be 100/100 or 8 bazillion gigaahoopties. But if the internal equipment is only 802.11g, 54Mbps is all the PC will see.

Agreed, that's why I'd use 2 NICs.

No wonder the koreans won the LOL World champ. They get blazing internet to practice on... hue

 

[USAFRet]

If you're trying to run a game server, it should be connected directly to the router via Cat5e. No wireless.

They're also winning "Economics"

 

[Bossyfins]

Yea, you get faster connection through cat5e.

Fast internet is not exclusive to Korea.

I could get 300/300 if I wanted to pay for it.

 

[Alec Mowat]

If you're trying to run a game server, it should be connected directly to the router via Cat5e. No wireless.

2 NICs or a 2 port NIC with failover configured, with a good 1000 Gbps switch and configure dedicated IP addresses and port forwarding rules.

For $34, he gets 1Gbps up/down
Good luck finding that in North America.

edit; You are also faster than 89% of the U.S. 😀

hmmm......And what are you supposed to be getting from the ISP?

According to his displayed results, no, he isn't getting that.
