I would think the first step would be to figure out what sort of a bandwidth commitment you're making to your clients. Are you promising them 10 Mb/s? 5 Mb/s? 1 Mb/s? Or is this just best effort? You can pretty easily get 30 people on one DSL line, and as long as you don't have a guy maxing out your line w/ a torrent all day, it should be a reasonably pleasant experience for everyone. If you do indeed have people running torrents, you're going to want to set a bandwidth cap for users. So I'd try to figure out what that cap would be first.
