If I have users on different packages then how would I accomplish that?

I don't think we have a problem if all users use their connection for
general use. But, I can't tell users what to do and not do, if you know
what I mean. As mentioned earlier, I have user downloading p2p all day
long, there are others using voip, there are others that use it for
gaming, others chatting, etc... So, I thought if I limit users'
bandwidth to a certain amount that I could just have them use whatever
they're assigned and they can do whatever they want with that amount of
bandwidth.
