You can't say in the same breath that you understand it depends, but 
you want a number anyway.

I have designed Asterisk systems that can handle hundreds of 
thousands of users.  I have built systems that can handle tens of 
thousands of users.  Others I'm sure have built or designed even 
larger systems.

Your guideline is "get a clueful Asterisk integrator", "get good 
CPE", and "understand scaling step functions."  If you're planning on 
starting an ITSP, and you're asking this question, I'd suggest that 
you shouldn't be asking that question.  (Not being snide here; just 
being honest.)
