You could also try reducing the /sv_maxRate usually its set to 5000 which means clients will be downloading from your server at ~5kbs (rented servers will be at 25000, ~25kbs, which gives better reg, less lag issues) If you have any mods eg. pam/promod, clients will download this at ~10kbs as they connect, which as said, will affect the whole server. Hosting your own server isnt really worth the hassle tho due to the poor upload speed imo, when i have done so in the past the max players would be 4 +me, then it would crash.
