But you have to do this. The reason is simple. The devices that's the bottleneck on the link will be shaping the traffic. YOU want to shape the traffic, so you have to be sure your modem is never filled up with traffic so his buffers are not disturbing you setup. The only thing you can do is make sure you are not sending too nuch traffic. So yes, you loose some bandwidth, but you win the possibility to shape the remaining bandwidth.
