Ways to find out how many MySQL user_connections a website currently uses?

Everytime i'm looking for a hosting company, i would ask them if they have any HARD limit on user_connections set on their server. Some would reply me YES, WE DO and the limit is 50 or etc while some says NO, we DONT.

How can i find out what is the HIGHEST NO of user_connections my website/VBulletin has ever used? Without a figure, i cant really go and signed up for a host that says YES, WE DO.

Another thing i need to clarify is, the user_connections is actually the HTTP server taking the contents from MySQL server OR my visitor taking the contents from MySQL server thru HTTP server?

Most of my visitors are on 5.6k modem and i was wondering would this make the connection longer in the sense that a cable user might only utilise the connection for 0.5 seconds while 5.6k modem will take 3 secs.

Thank you.
