Forgot to post on this on TF.tv, but I've been giving out free Mumble channels to TF2 competitive teams recently. If you need one just hit me up! :)
Hey guys, long story short, I set up a very large Mumble server a while ago for a HL and 6s team that did not go through.
I ended up just transferring my current team onto it, but I'd like to make use of all the extra slots I have. Also, I really
enjoy the idea of being able to hop around channels to talk to different people in case my team/friends are all offline.
So I will be giving out FREE Mumble channels (private or public) in my server for tonight. I was ringing in for a
few scrims and I noticed a lot of teams were either using Skype, in-game chat, or even Steam Group Chat...
Anyways I know Mumble servers aren't the most expensive but not everybody has money to spend on comms so yea.
You can actually continue to use this Mumble absolutely free too, since I do want to support the competitive TF2 teams.
A couple DOTA friends have asked to use my Mumble and if you want to use the Mumble for other things, feel free,
but if I ever get close to running out of slots I will prioritize TF2 related stuff > other stuff.
So just add me on Steam, or leave me a message or comment with the following.
Team Name & Type (HL/6s):
Your Mumble/Steam Name: (I will be giving sub-channel admin privs to the Mumble name)
About How Many People Will be using it: eg: Only your 9 playing tonight, or 18 for the whole team + backups, or 20 including mentors, etc
Would you like to stay in my Mumble or just need it for tonight?

Mumble is free, however server hosting is not.
If you want to home host through murmur+hamachi you can. If you are opposed to that I recall Teamspeak servers being extremely cheap.
Also, I do recall #tf2scrim allowing you to reserve a mumble and server for a scrim.

uh....murmur itself is the daemon/server application... you don't need the overhead of hamachi to run the murmur daemon. And you can host on your own machine (for FREE), though pings and bandwidth speeds might suffer.

Yea it's the same way a TF2 server works. The program is free and there is no extra costs on the program itself, but paying for a virtual server, bandwith, power, etc isn't free. Of course you can host a local server on your computer but standard home internet usually can't support that stably.

Mumble is open source, as free as can be. Any voice chat system with a server client architecture is going to have to be hosted somewhere. I'd probably say that if you have a fibre connection at you home, go for it. It will probably not be too bad on cable either, just it would probably suffer on DSL because it uses more upload than download.
The reason skype is free is because it does direct connections between you and all of your friends, skype doesn't have to provide any server except for the handshake process.

I actually have cable and I can't handle hosting anything from my home's internet. Could be a router issue possibly, but I know for sure if I was to try hosting a TF2 server or Mumble server I'd be at less than half of my max.

Mumble does use more upload than download (down usage is usersTalking * bitrate, upload usage is usersListening * bitrate, users talking is usually less than users listening) so that could be a factor in that.
