But surely HTB is overkill for simply limiting bandwidth and keeping the
queue on Linux and not in the modem no?  In my followup message on this
subject, I used TBF instead.  I don't want to classify bandwidth usage,
just prevent the queing on the modem.

Indeed, but if multiple users are trying to stuff packets in, it will be
more or less evenly distributed when they come out, no?  How can a
single user monopolize a FIFO given that there are other users making
equal demands of it?

Which I did in my follow example BTW.
