Configuring htb or cbq for a modem, T1 or ethernet is the same.  Only the 
parameters are different.  The idea behind the shaping is the same.

There are no examples you can use right away because each setup is different.  
We can only give you some advice and point you to some examples.  I have 
docs/examples/scripts on www.docum.org.  You can also dig the lartc archive 
for examples about traffic shaping.

You want a basic shaping setup so it's not so difficult to create a tc script.  
But you have to do it yourself :)

Some steps you have to do if you use htb :
- add root htb qdisc to nic
- add class with rate = ceil = 1024kb
- add 2 class, 1 for you with rate = 10%*1024kb, ceil = 1024kb and an other 
with rate = 90%*1024kb, ceil = 1024kb
- add 2 filters to the root qdisc to redirect the traffic to the classes
