If you are using PCM coding for your VOIP then each voice line needs about 90kbps. However since a LAN is a statistical device you do not want to load it to full capacity. No more than 1/2 would be good. So if your broadband line has a rate of 1.5Mbit/sec take 1500/90 = 16 so probably a maximum of 8 calls at once. Obviously you can have more, but packets may start dropping at some point. Also this assumes that the broadband line is not used for anything else, such as downloading files, etc.
