That's kinda what i want to find out - how much bandwidth does a peer need on average?
Since you brought it up, I've been experimenting. What you can do is set --limit-rate-up. I set mine to 1024 (1MB/s (8.1mbps)) the default is 2048 (2MB/S (16.2mbps.)). I upped my numbers to 64(out)+64(in) and i am finding on average its using ~12% of the 1MB/s (8.1mbps) i have it limited to. Mind you, most peers already have the chain so mostly its going to be relaying new blocks. But that is why i set the --limit-rate-up so my network isnt murdered if a peer needs the whole chain.
Edit: Also, it took me quite a while to establish 64 inbound connections over an hour anyway. The 64 outbound connections were established within seconds, but it takes a while to get the incoming peers.
