The most seen on the Elite server at one time so far has been in the 10-14 range. I've seen 12 on my own personal server (for a short time) and people had very little lag. But my processor was defintiely spiking. More info to come I'm sure.

There appears to be a bottleneck emerging, and it's the CPU...not the pipe, not the RAM. This is actually a good thing because that is something that can be fixed with a simple upgrade. We're working on tweaking the configuration and are getting some excellent feedback from players.

Elite is at the West Coast US.

Hmm... West coast... Will it be playable for us Europeans to? I've played many online games but when I tried to connect to a server in the USA I got a relatively high ping for my DSL connection.

I run fine on the TLR, but incredible lag from hell on the ELITE server. Took 30 mins to kill one liberty rogue and 10 seconds for a shield battery to kick in on the ELITE server... but on the TLR, rogues were dead every 20 seconds and shield batteries worked instantly. Never saw that nasty yellow lag box indicator on TLR either.

If you need to do this with your router/modem then I would return them!
In fact due to the a lack of reliability in the line cards in COs I would not recommend rebooting a DSL modem too often.
However, if you have to reboot your router after every couple of days then I would log a support call with your vendor. My DSL connection is always on, unless there is a CO problem or I have a power outage.
Some buddies of mine have those linksys jobs that act as firewalls/routers and they don't reboot their gateways often either.
However, if you're running an MSFT based firewall/router then yes you should reboot as often as possible and you should hang your head in shame for using a crappy os for such an important function!

I don't "have" to reboot my DSL modem all the time. I do it when I notice some lose of integrity of the speed. I check my speed constantly. And do in fact has some increase in speed when I reboot it. I don't seem to have the need to do it as often, but I know what I've experienced and doing so (especially early on when the live is establised) this procedure does in fact help.
DSL technology by it's very design doesn't neccisarily que up to top performance right out of the gate. It take a little time (sometimes) for the signal to, for lack of a better term, settle in and provide the sustained bandwidth it advertises.
No, ZoneAlarm, but thanks for asking!
To add, I stand by the fact broadband users should reboot their machine every millenium or so.
