Adjust sv_maxrate (max byte/s sent to individual clients) to minimize the ill effects when the server would otherwise have used too much bandwidth. For example:
2 Mbit/s = 250000 byte/s 250000 byte/s / 24 players ≈ max 10400 byte/s per player "sv_maxrate 10400"; minimize the risk of packet loss by instead introducing choke when packet loss otherwise could have occurred. Choke isn't desirable if you can avoid it but should beat packet loss. With sv_maxrate 10400 you would be playing it very safe but you would probably want to experiment with higher values. That will allow more players and action in a area without choke, but risk loss when too many (how many that is depends on how high you set it) players are in the area. Unfortunately I don't think there's any setting to limit bandwidth usage on the server as a whole rather then per player which would have been ideal for your situation. Perhaps there's a plugin that can adjust sv_maxrate dynamically. I also recommend you lock the updaterate to the default 20 (using "sv_maxupdaterate 20") since higher performance configs (that the user may have) will attempt to use a lot more bandwidth. I'm assuming you have at least as much bandwidth downstream so that should not be a problem. If you find yourself thinking about lowering sv_maxupdaterate below 20 to have the server run well then you know it's time to give up.
