Something like that, but you'll have problems sharing traffic between
the different classes (classes for different IP addresses and traffic
for different priorities). That's why I say that I don't know how to do
it myself.

If you give me a few days I'll send you through my traffic
prioritisation script. It won't give you the per-user limit, but I can
almost guarantee that it will give everyone faster access, so you can at
least use it for a comparison to see what is possible.
