It does prevent large gaming servers. Most games burn about 64 to 128kbps per client typically. |

Re: does comcast prevent you from operating server depends on what your doing and why... in my case is would be primarily for various remote access applications where bandwidth can be low... and experimental stuff for personal use only like web apps and the like... I'm not talking about actually hosting any services for any volume of people to use... just me. |

Most games burn about 64 to 128kbps per client typically. Exactly why I moved to the Gold Tier. Having 8Mbps of download is great and dandy but I really don't download to much. I need the upload more then download. I was thinking recently of maybe getting VOIP since the phone bill is somewhere in $75-100 range a month. However no way that is happening with such little upload. If I had VOIP running while using my connectionto run a online gaming server I would pretty much see lag all over the place along with crappy reception on the telephone line.
I think a good ratio for download to upload is 5:1 or 7:1. Not something like the current of 12:1 on Gold and 17:1 on Silver.

USA | Comcast won't be increasing the upload speed anytime soon. If you need a decent upload you can always go with a T1 or fractional T1. They have dropped in price over the years. Or you can get DSL with a load balancing router.
