a t-1 will host about 24 players maximum without any lag. at 60% utilization you're talking about 8 users or less.

what type of game are we talking about? Some games could handle over 100 players on a T-1, but other's it may not be able to handle very many.

You might want to look into Digital.Forest (http://www.forest.net). I just have a web server, but thier network is good. They can push more than most datacenters anywere. 2.54gbits. Each server has 50meg burstable too.
