Upload speed is the key for hosting online games. So with 200k upload 4 people are probably about the norm. What are the pings to the people playing in your server? It only takes one person on dial-up to screw up the game for everyone else. Or it could be the demo also. Wait until the 'real' version of the game comes out, maybe EA will improve it some more.
