I'm curious to know the downstream/upstream speeds capable of those of you who are running servers, and what kind of lag issues you might have had upon reaching a certain number of players on the server.
I have a 1.5MBit/128KBit ADSL connection, and am wondering whether or not it is worth trying. I'm thinking it's too slow. Your connection speeds and experiences would be appreciated.

I have a 3 Mbit download and 256 Kbit upload cable connection through Adelphia. It seems to work good for serving.
So, I think you'd be ok with yours. Never hurts to try. You could always limit the number of players to 6 or so. Keep the load low if you have concerns.
For the tournaments, I'm tempted to make it 3 on 3, rather than 4 on 4. Potential lag would be one of the reasons for adopting this change.
