What I would love to do is offer "fast internet access" and at the same
time sell packages to users: 512/128, 768/256, 1024/512, etc... If an
user has a specific package, I would like this user to have a nice
internet experience with low pings, and little lagging and not
'interfere' with the other users (might be impossible). 

So, what I'm trying to do is not have issues with one user hogging our
internet line.

Dont know how a fair share bandwidth might work on our network since I
have some users downloading p2p all day long. 

I've noticed that at peak times (7pm - 11pm) our internet service is so
slow I'm embarrassed to even say. 

Also, another thing I noticed (this one not time specific) when running
iptraf is that my external interface measures almost our max/total
bandwidth of 15Mbps and our internal interface is only at 4Mbps. So,
that tells me that not much is passing through squid or there are some
big time downloading going on.

So, to tell you the truth I don't know which way to go if limit bw per
user or what. I'm just trying to keep our network running as smooth as
possible.
