lan party

[buzzinkeegs]

so a local lan party is coming together, after researching the event location has a max internet connection of 80mb down /20mb up and they are looking to host 16 people minimum max 32 from this one connection is this do-able
i confirmed the speeds with the host also

It's a LAN party, so won't use the internet much if at all, depends on game also I guess though.

they say gigabyte cached server so i supose gigabyte switches when i asked what games they didnt give much info other than csgo but it also said local and online play and i put it to them that if 32 ppl or even 16 of them try to play online on that bandwidth and they just went on the defencive, i wasnt trying to belittle them or anything just wanted a clearer picture, but even then they quote 80mb dl and 20 up but being only 20 miles away from the location and doing my own research the comparable sites all say a maximum of 50-67 mb/s maximum speeds and we all know that meeting said max is often a different story all together and more often than not its a lot less so like i said if 32 ppl decided to jump online and play cod or something would it be viable / playable

Well, you'll have to monitor lag and server load as each person joins, and maybe institute a cut off. Local lan you should be fine, but on the internet with other players may be an issue (assuming 32 players)
