Yeah, that's way more than enough.
actually....
Even @ 700 clients, thats still only roughly 1.4mbps. I really can't see any home hosted shard pushing a cable connections limit. You can start it @ home on your cable, and if later it gets to that point you can move the shard and if planned properly, it could be done in as little as 20 min's (more like 45 realistic).

Well, Yea, if this shard has 700 players regularly @ the brit bank then yes, I agree with Jeff, you should go with real hosting. Pepper did however say "potential" 700 clients. The average new shard start-up rarely gets above 100 players max online, and even if you wind up twice that you wont stress your IP with a cable connection. I am just trying to save you some cash. If it grows and starts to get higher numbers, say 600 max, 250 average online, then you can think about switching to a more expensive host. I'm not trying to discourage you. Just want you to look @ it realistically, and judge what you really want to spend before your sure what your population is going to be.
On a side note, if its open to the publlic, let me know, I love checking out new shards, pre-aos in particular.

I guess Im just worried about going over my 250GB limit. I cant afford mistakes. So your all saying ill be fine at 600/700 clients with my current limit? If not, or in the future I need to upgrade, what plan would I need to buy and from what IP provider?
Im saying this because I know I will get alot of clients from the start only because I already have 200 testers (invite only), plus alot marketing ahead of time. I need to know about future options and dont want to be caught with my pants down if something as little as bandwidth limit gets in my way. Thank you!
**also, maybe there is a tool so I can messure the "strain" on my shard?

how does multi clienting effect those numbers?
I mean when I am multi clienting "sometimes" I am switching between screens quickly but usually I have other clients off to the side macroing.
Will my multiclienting use more of their bandwidth or will it effectively be around the same because of whatever load restrictions on traffic my ISP places on my connections end?

Why don't you start small, its going to take you so long to get 600-700 clients...just start your server, and monitor it, if you see your players climing past 100 consistently, look for new options. Don't pay for the ability ot get 600-700 up front, UOGamers is the most active server around here, and has 600-700 clients, not many other have this claim to fame, and there are hundreds of servers.
