I can confirm this: more than 10 players on a hosted server will require better than DSL connection. I'd say at least Cable Internet for 10 players. 16 is pushing it before you have a T1 connection going directly to your house. The above info is based on Battlefield 1942...I'm not sure about other online games. I can also say that my shitbox 400 MHz K6-2 with 256 MB of RAM hosted a 32-player BF1942 botmatch with ease. The Internet connection is where you're really gonna suffer with online player games, though.
