If he's getting it from a major cable provider a 24 slot TF2 server will eat his bandwidth limitations per month (sounds like a comcast plan, 250gb/mo regardless of plan unless he has a business line.)
1 24 slot tf2 server (if you consider it being always near full) will roughly use 200gb up/down, at least from my experience, on maximum rates needed to sustain no choke @ 24 players per month. You could probably squeeze by by adjusting the rates, but your best bet would be to colo or a business connection. Colo would probably be cheaper and you wouldn't have to worry about using personal bandwidth (downloads, etc) causing interruptions on your server.
