TS & Vent Cost

Postby Droxor » Fri Mar 24, 2006 5:50 am

Can anyone get me a chart of "Cost Per Size" of both Vent and TS servers please? (A.k.A gunther the forum whore, or anyone else for that matter) The WoW guild I started that is using TE TS atm is growing, and as I promissed when we began using it, that if we got to large we would move on. . .so it's time to start looking for our options to stick to my part of the bargan :D

Basicly cost of servers from 20-75 for both Vent and TS would be good. Anything bigger is simply uneeded.

The company tE uses is http://www.darkstarllc.com/

Have not priced them out but when we picked up the TS server they were one of the best prices with good reviews.

If you have an extra computer in your house, you could just download the dedicated server and run it from there... Just a thought.

I actually will run a TS server from time to time but only for general communicating with only a few people but I would never try it to support gaming.

The upstream speed of your connection is the limiting factor and cable/DSL won’t cut it. The following is part of a FAQ on the Teamspeak site. The important number is the upstream usage as the example would use about 2/3 of my connection and I feel that my upstream is pretty good for cable.


Bandwidth calculation for the server
We'll divide this into several examples which hopeful explain the calculation somewhat better. The first is a simple example we'll explain a little bit more in detail. For each example we use the following syntax:

DOWN: people_speaking_atm * selected_codec
UP: people_speaking_atm * (people_in_channel - 1) * selected_codec

The following would be a server with one channel set to Speex 25.9, 10 people in the only channel and one person is speaking:

DOWN: 1 * 25.9 Kbit/s = 25.9 Kbit/s
UP: 1 * (10 - 1) * 25.9 Kbit/s = 233.1 Kbit/s

As you see in this example, the DOWN bandwidth is usually not a problem but the UP bandwidth can be one - especially with home Internet access as they usually have asymmetric bandwidth where the DOWN bandwidth is much higher then the UP bandwidth.

Here's another example with one channel set to Speex 12.3, 10 people in the only channel and two persons is speaking:

DOWN: 1 * 12.3 Kbit/s = 24.6 Kbit/s
UP: 2 * (10 - 1) * 12.3 Kbit/s = 221.4 Kbit/s

The last example shows how the bandwidth requirement explodes when more then one people are speaking at the same time. In TeamSpeak 2 there is no setting to stop simultaneous speaking.

I agree, all that talking about up and down gave me smaller than usual wood.

:smt053 talking tech makes me feel like this

LOL droxor I gave you the link to our provider just click it and select either TS or Vent from their main page to see pricing. Other than that just google TS server and you will get a zillion links.
