The best rule of thumb we have says that a 10-shot server runs about 5 kilobytes per player-second (40 kilobits per player-second). So 10 players at 10 shots = 40*10 = 400 kbps upstream. Downstream is significantly less (so it's inverse from most normal async broadband lines, upstream is always the limitation). It actually has a players^2 component so it's best to look at the charts.
Actual stats from secretplace per player are at http://bzflag.bz/tmp/secretplace_perplayer.png
Inbound vs Outbound is at http://bzflag.bz/tmp/secretplace_usage.png

My own stats from a 7-shot server are roughly the same at least at the lower playercounts.
