Damn! If you can host 8 players with less than 150 ping on that 128Kbps upstream, you're rockin!
I tried running on 128Kbps upstream aDSL, and about 5 players is all I could handle, and I was also setting max_rate to 2000. Player #6 would bump all pings to over 300, and 7 would bump everyone (exept me obviously) to over 500. I doubt there is much else you can do....

I know its not a good idea to run a server on a cable modem but its all I have. Right now I can hold 8 people max and everyone that has a cable modem or better runs in the 100's - 150's. I have played with the sv_maxrate and minrate and found that maxrate of 2000 and minrate of 500 seems to produce the best results. Anything other than this will cause major lag in the 1000's unless I have less then 6 people playing. I am running 1.3 on a 1.4G windows 2k box with 768M of memory on a 1.5M down and 128K upload cable modem from @home and its a dedicated server. Haplo says "I can handle that"
