Welcome to the forum. Making personal requests in the title of your first post is not gonna go down well. Hence I've edited it.
Spend a few hours reading , it's easy enough to setup, especially if you have a working box to look at.

a friend of mine said if you can get more upload speed from your isp you can have more than 50 on your server how true wld this be any advice on this thanks

More than 50 means you're running a serious pay server, which is going to get you into some serious trouble and not earn you any friends round here. In fact, I imagine my server sharing between five family members where we all cover the cost is frowned upon...

this was told too me by someone else and was only asking the question if it was true or not? so asking the question was all i done! which is what this forum is about just finding things out, if your unsure you ask, so read the above post before your reply and you will see i was only asking dave

In the interest of peace and tranquility I shall comment. It is from my own long standing research that any Dreambox will not serve anywhere near 50 clients. In fact if you exceed around 20 you will start to see problems. Now this is just connected clients ofcourse, you must then take into account how many of those connected clients are actually active at any one time. Again from my research in excess of 8 active clients you will drop ecm requests and things will not look good at all. Even at 6 active you are pushing it a little.
Yet more research shows quite clearly that the new 0963 card for example ( Sly UK NDS3 ), does not respond what so ever to overclocking. There is no gain to be made in ECM response times and therefore hitting it with multiple requests, it will fail to respond to some of them !

Some people use desktop pc's running linux to host cards, this will perform a lot better than a dreambox, especially the lower spec. boxes, 500, 600, 7020 etc. Even so I would recommend similar limitations really, as traffic through your router also seems to be an issue in many cases.

The moral of the story is :- Many experts reside within this fine community, listen to them ! Pub talk is almost always bollox !
