I think you misunderstood the entire concept..
Players with high pings do NOT lag the whole server

I used to run my server from my home with a cap of 125 players on a 10/1 connection 10down 1up. after 125 it started to bog down. I think it all depends on congestion and your ISP if they throttle your internet or not.

It also depends on wether they're all in the same place or spread around maps?

maybe, we have major PVP in the arena and it lags like hell some time

That wasn't supposed to be a question, my bad.
It DOES depend on the amount of players in one location. The more players you have in one location, the more bandwidth you need to properly send all data to all clients.
