Bandwidth Speed Test
 
I got this results from the online bandwidth speed test:

"Speed
1.3 megabits per second

Communications 1.3 megabits per second
Storage 157.3 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 6.5 seconds
Subjective rating Good"

What can I use, or how can i calculate how many listeners I can broadcast to? I used the one you guys post here and told me that 286 kbps, and calculated using that. Now, with this inforamtion I got above, which nunbers I can use for the calculation? I am on cable.

Normally Cable/DSL users can get about 10 or 12 listeners
at 24kpbs. I run mine at 23kpbs with 10 listeners, but i'm
pushing it a little.

I have cable, and I'm broadcasting at 64kbps with a 15 listener max.

Great, I just tweaked my TCP and now went up to 2.2 mega bits and 273 for storage, will then proceed to set up server for 8 or 10 users I guess. Thank You guys.

Make sure you're using the upload test, not the download.

You must have a very good conection. I used to have cable then I
moved to a place where there was only DSL.

Thank You fester, I do realize now the upload numbers is the key here, so I went to the page and tested at: download 2,474 kbps and upload 258 kbps. So 258 kbps/32khz = 8 users.

you need to add on about 10 percent for network overhead 6 or seven listeners would be better

Then I will set up for 6, I don want the audio to be too low in quality. Thanks for the suggestion.
