LOL...just to interject...bandwidth usage tends to be highly incidental...you get 10mb/s usage for short periods and holes of very low usage...with hundreds of simultaneous connections (as is the case with ISP networks) you simply cant tune a limiter so finely....the definition of available bandwidth changes from instant to instant.
