Anything reasonably recent running Squid 2.6 should handle at least 500
clients, maybe more. Maybe a thousand. The cyclic filesystem support
in squid-2.6 dramatically increases the number of clients Squid can
handle.

Squid-2.6 should be able to cache a few multiples of 10 megabits these
days, especially if you're using COSS.

But as I've said in a few other posts, I've been out of the loop running
proxy caches. I'm still getting back in to said loop. Hopefully others
can contribute more accurate and up-to-date figures.
