You could use HTB's "ceil" parameter for each leaf class to specify the
max rate per user - that value can be anything up to and including the
maximum rate of the root qdisc. It's the total of all the "rate"
parameters of the leaf classes that should add up to the root's total.

Well obviously it depends on what your users are doing, but I think
15Mbps should be fine for 2-300 users. I have a 4Mbps ADSL line shared
between 150 users. It's not the fastest, but it works for general use,
because bulk traffic gets classified at a lower priority than web
browsing.
