How much bandwidth

Ok here is a question, I have my own root server I rent, and if I want I can use 100Mbit a second on it, the limiting factor is that the total amount of data transfered. So here is what I want to know, how much data is transfered on average per user, as if things work out I may be able to afford a full 128 player server for us all

Well I would not have anything less than a full T-1!! If you can affoard a T-3 would be the best beat!

Digital Anvil recommends a broadband connection consisting of ASDL, Cable or the like. Certianly a T1 line would be better and so on. Dial-up 56K modem connections are not conducive to running a server. You can try, but don't get your hopes up

I run my server (TLR-Gold) on a simple ASDL line with 768 down / 128 up and it works just fine with about a maximum of 10 to 11 people taking all possible spike situations. It can hold more than that, but it's not optimal.
