I can't speak for other MUDs, but discworld peaked in 2002-2003, 200 players and a queue of about 20 people waiting to get in wasn't unusual. these days it's more in the 40-70 people range.

Doubt my ISP cares, but with 20Mb upload it's not going to send 10 million packets per second (2 bits per packet just isn't valid network traffic).
