[Abdelkader BKF]

Hi,
Thank you so much for your reply,
I've a dedicated server in OVH, where I have done speed test for the server
:










*bkf at xxxxx ~> speedtest-cli Retrieving speedtest.net <http://speedtest.net>
configuration...Retrieving speedtest.net <http://speedtest.net> server
list...Testing from OVH SAS (x.x.x.x)...Selecting best server based on
latency...Hosted by fdcservers.net <http://fdcservers.net> (Paris) [1.88
km]: 6.488 msTesting download
speed........................................Download: 900.46 Mbit/sTesting
upload speed..................................................Upload:

Is it enough for up 5k listeners ? Could you please give me best Providers
