512kbits (64 kBytes) would definately be optimal but you could get away nicely at 256kbits (32kBytes) with 30 users. About 35+ users is where a 32kB upload starts getting laggy. You generally want to have 1 kiloByte dedicated per user for optimal performance (so 32kB upload should get you 32 users no problem).
