MB and mb are very different things, a megabit is 1000 bits (technically it is 1024 but so many people just use 1000) a Megabyte is 1024 bytes, 1 megabyte = 8 megabits you can easily fit 120 players on a 1 megabyte/s line and 150 if they arent in an area that has a lot of movement...

how if 1gbps ??

Which for you would be 15 people, anymore then that and you'd probably start seeing a bit of lag

I have around 50+ on most of the time and they get some lag, like das said in high movement areas, players, mobs, etc. They usually lag a little only sometimes at NS. I have 24 down/3 up. I have calculated that 80 is max for this speed, but not recommended. Machine your running on definitely makes a difference. Try not to run a on-board nic card either. Slap in a pci card will get you a little extra. Also you would do yourself a favor not to use vbox (resource thief) instead install a full linux OS server.
