You cannot say anything about that unless you know the expected load of the websites, the type of content you're offering etc.
The upstream is the most important aspect, so a downstream of 1500 kbit/s on your connection is not necessary, unless you've got an upstream of 10.000 kbit/s.
If you've got 10 concurrent users, at 1 pageview per second per user, you would be able to serve pages with a maximum size of 1500/10/8= 18 kbyte per page including (uncached) images.
However, 1 pageview per second is rather much (86400 pageviews per day).
A simple calculation can be made about your possible bandwidth per month :
1500 kbit/second / 8 (kbits per kbyte) * 3600 seconds an hour * 24 hours a day * 30 days a month =
486.000.000 kbytes per month -> 463 Gb per month.
For your info ; my website (www.oxle.com) uses about 1 Gb a month, and has a quota of 15 Gb a month...so, your potential capacity is way more than mine.
However, this is a _sequential_ capacity, not including peaks for for instance 100 users at one time.... of course a 1500 kbit connection can be way too little in such circumstances, but for a 100 concurrent users situation would also justify paid hosting and even in some cases dedicated hosting.
