    Greetings @binxuan200 

    Just to set a thing straight.

    You are not writing to EA, you are writing to a community based support forum.

    You need some good internet and importantly a correctly setup professional router. It's indeed not possible to host your own servers anymore.

    BF needs these ports open: http://help.ea.com/en/article/online-ports-for-battlefield-4/

    BF 4 should use around 200KB/s down, 48KB/s up with the new 30 hz update which would for 50 people be a 10.000 KB/s / 2400 KB/s ~= a 11/3 Mbit/s connection + whatever overhead you need for people downloading, IM'ing, Teamspeaking etc.
