I'd say you'll barely make it past five, if even that high.
If you want more, you'll either have to ask a friend with faster internet to host the server for you or pay for a hosting service.

This is completely wrong. I have 4 Mb/s upload speed and I can handle 30 players without issues. OP, I would not recommend using a hosting service since it sounds like you're capable of hosting yourself.

Thanks for all the tips. Anyways, how to reduce the bounce rate of my server? (literally 100% of people who connected left before they spawned)
Kalphiter²:
bandwidth per player = 1024 bits * 32 pps = 32.768KB/sec
When your network's upload speed is being maxed, packets will be dropped, creating issues for people on your Blockland server. This will happen anytime someone is downloading something because the maximum possible rate will be achieved, even though you clearly have enough bandwidth to host 100+ players.
Does your router have any quality-of-service tools?
