It seems 1C is on the right track. I've heard several reports of very good online gameplay with 70+ players. Since the latest official patch the server would usually stop responding after 50 players (console would stop, couldn't see chat messages etc.)
We've had well over 80 players in a server now and it's actually quite enjoyable. Of course, there's the occasional stutter or warpage, but nothing like it was before.
Attached is a snapshot of the ATAG server bandwidth graph showing we can finally stream some bandwidth! Graph shown has 78 players and is streaming around 12mbps in upload! Please keep doing more of the same. Maybe we can actually hit that 125 player mark sometime
Thanks for giving a little love to the netcode
