<<<I was just thinking the same idea regarding the overall increase in internet bandwidth. Through standard modem technology, I don't think hundreds of players is really feasible without some considerable lag problems.>>> FYI, there are already companies which have several hundred players connected to the same game, at the same time, using standard modem technology. Kesmai had hundreds of players in a real-time action game (Air Warrior) as early as 1987. Lag free? No, but surprisingly good.
