[UK] Hosting questions
#4

There isn't one, a home ISP connection won't be enough to host a SA-MP server with more then 20(maybe 30-40 depending on the speed) slots without seeing a gradually latency increase. This is why server providers use DataCenters that back onto large networks designed for server hosting such as Level3 and Cogent.

In the UK, unless you have a Business and have a good network(for example, offices in London often have great upload as they pay for a high quality direct line) , the average home ISP probabbly gets 1-2MBps upload.

But to answer your question, in the U.K o2 is probabbly the best Home ISP I have come across(that only requires the basic phone line), however even that will only get you about 1.5MBps, which is fine for about 20 to at a stretch 40 players, I mean technically you probabbly might be able to handle a bit more, but it wouldn't be an enjoyable experience for most players. So personally anything more then 40 players you don't really want to be using a home connection.

Hope this helps you a bit.
