I have to admit that I don't mark per user. I have lots of users, but I
instead mark the type of traffic and shape on that.

Optimum Wireless Services - what is your aim? Do you really want to
limit bandwidth per user, or do you instead want to provide each user
with a fair share of bandwidth and fast internet access? If it is the
latter, you are better to not mark per user, but instead mark the
traffic type and use tc's hash functionality to share the bandwidth
between client IP address, rather than the default which is per
connection.
