i never mentioned battlefield, i hate that game, its a poorly made piece of crap - good on LAN tho

i made an estimate that freelancer probably uses at least 7-10kb/s upstream per user (and i think thats probably an underestimate by a considerable way) with 20 users on that means you need a 2mbps upstream connection (200kb/s) just to handle them sitting around, nevermind when large ammounts of npcs/other players start fighting.  from what i can find, T1 is rated at 1.5mbps - enought for 15, which is about the ammount that the lag starts.
anyway, ill take your explanation, if your confident that its not bandwidth then i cannot argue further.  your arguments make sense.

*server does not appear to be lagging at the moment (20people on)

You grossly over-estimated it. Freelancer doesn't even use a kilobyte of upstream per user. All FL Server really does is *UPDATE* clients to locations, etc. It's not a global server like World of WarCraft or Battlefield is..

And my bandwith is *FAR MORE FLEXIBLE* than a straight off T1 ever is :)

Lag starts when we have 18 or more on the server flying the same pieces of crap. The bandwith doesn't suffer then. the server load does. THAT is the source of lag. SERVER LOAD. Not bandwith. Thank you.
