| [northeast] Some FIOS 20/20 + server questions?
Ok so currently, I'm running a few CS 1.6 servers on my 37/5 (download is uncapped to DOCSIS 2.0 limits) optimum online line and I'd like to get some additional upstream bandwidth to run more servers. I'm about to move into a new house, so if possible, i'd like to get a 20/20 fios line in addition to my usual cable service just for the server
1) does verizon regulate bandwidth usage on their 20/20 lines? i know that with their EVDO wireless packages, theres a limit of 5gb/month.
2) how often will your IP change? if my server is on 24/7, will my IP still change from time to time? can i buy a static IP?
3)whats the usual throughput you see on the 20/20 line?
thanks guys  |

2) can i buy a static IP? Requires that you get business class service which may or may not be available at 20/20 where you are. Other than that, not sure how often IPs change. I use dyndns.org services to update a hostname if/when my IP changes.
3)whats the usual throughput you see on the 20/20 line?
I'm pretty sure you'll see pretty darn close to 20/20  |

| OOL might get the max that docsis 2.0 gets but you will never see higher than 33 or 34 mb so you will never see 37 mb and most people see a big decrease in speeds when everyone is on in there neighborhoods with OOL but with Fios you will most likely see the full 20 mb up and down all day long as most people do and I myself get my full speed 24/7.
If you get a static IP it will cost a nice amount more with all ports open and if you use dynamic IP it won't change very often unless you reset the router after the lease time is up then it might change but sometimes it won't from what I have seen and some ports are blocked on non business accounts just so you know. |

servers are not allowed on residential accounts ( TOS )
port 80 is blocked
Want a server, get a business account |

If you get the business service static ip's are going to cost you 40 bucks a month more plus there is no business triple play. The 20/20 gives me full speed all the time but not getting the triple pricing it may end up costing you a fortune to add static. |

Port 8080 is not blocked, so unless you're planning on commercial services, you *can* get out there.
Otherwise, go Business. |

Set up free dyndns.org account/hostname, enable WebHop (site:80 request redirected to site:8080).
Server will always be accessible even if your IP changes, port 80 blocking is taken care of, and you save $40.

Hey,
I'm on 20/20 here in Westchester running a few CS:S servers. Here's been my experience:
1) I haven't had any bandwidth issues (was running 20/5 for about 6 months, been on 20/20 since January). Can't say I'm a huge consumer of that bandwidth though...my server's aren't that popular
2) In the ~12 months I've had this service (new service location last year...DHCP this time), the IP has changed about every quarter. DHCP lease time in the fall went way down (it's now an hour). I've had the same IP since early January, but I expect it to change anytime.
Current 12 month contract is $70/month (dynamic IP), but you can get a single static IP address with business service. Their current business rates would suggest that a 20/20 connection would be $140/month (2 year contract).
3) I've seen the full 20/20 throughput. It's amazing watching my m0n0wall's traffic graph fly
To echo what the others have said here, port 80 is blocked. HTTPS (443), however, is not.

| It's pretty hard to give you any definitive stats as players are constantly joining/leaving and the bandwidth utilization changes even if the number of players stays the same.
Also, Source dedicated servers (CS:S, TF2, etc) all give you explicit control of the maximum number of bytes/second each client can receive (sv_maxrate). Mine is set pretty high at 40000.
These days, I might peak at about 20 players total across all the servers I run. My 5-minute graph rarely breaks 2 megabits.
