Bandwidth Capper/Limiter


Question

Howdi lads... i have a situation.. need ur expertise

I am currently paying 25 english pounds a month (think thats about 40 dollars... not sure tho) for a 512kb Broadband Internet Connection... My sister shares this across our LAN @ home... she does not pay half of the monthly bill (apparently she needs to buy clothes every month! women.... )

Anyway my ISP: Blueyonder has just released 1Mbps Blueyonder... and while i am definietly going to get it my sister will not pay the extra 10 pounds a month they are charging... so i am think of when i get it in... installing an app to throttle the available bandwidth to her pc across the network... (e.g.: she gets 5k download and 5 upload... and i get the rest? are there any programs available that can do this?

ne thoughts would be very much appreciated peeps...

(btw dont bother sending any comments about me being nasty or evil... i dont care... im sick of her attitude)

l8rs lads

I have to agree if I cut my family from the web they get all ****ed off at me I don't want that. I don't want them sucking up my 28.8k connection that I have to share though a NAT system which means I don't evan have direct access if someone could limit it to lets say I limit my parents systems to 128k a sec each I could have 512 left formy room once I get cable thursday. I have sharing my internet connection I need high speed I have been waiting for over 3 years for high speed access of any sort and still don't have it I would of had it yesterday but my step dads a hoe and wanted the cable ran his way and didn't want the cable company to touch any of it and they were giving us free install WTF is up with that? now I have to wait till thursday to get my 768k a sec down and 128k a sec up connection. I am tired of dial up have you ever ran a web server public email server and share the connection with 6 systems at once not including people connectiong over the web? it runs slow as HEL*. Urg I hate my town I have complaind many many times for the last 3 years to get high speed acess and it's just now getting here that ****es me off I had to complain for so long and I still don't have it due to my parents. I don't want to share my cable connection at all but I have to or I can't have it what shi* huh?

Please no commects on my puncturation I have a learing disability documented about it already

Not a nice thought.

lol, if you do that, whats stopping them from charging you rent? or charging you for washing your clothes (if they still do that)? or maybe start charging you for your meals? ect ect ect, you get my point ;) hehe, cause that sounds like you want to charge them for access.

bah! you go up to your parents and tell `em your names on the bill and can do whatever you want with your bandwidth. Or heres an idea, why not block some ports? :D hehe, you say she uses kaaza? block the port. she uses msn? block that too. you get the idea ;) hehe

if anyone asks,....

"I dunno whats wrong..."

"ISP must be screwing us over sis" :ermm:

"oh well"

"maybe if you chipped in, I could put in a word to have those ports unblocked" :rolleyes:

lol, I do it all the time to my little bro when he's being a jack...something :x Block AIM port 5190 and what not, hehe Except I dont do it for money, I just do it cause I'm ****ed :D

i know you said not to bother saying you're mean and all that but she's your sister... even tho she's a pain in da ass she only uses kazaa and stuff to download videos, I know you pay for all the bandwidth but are you really in that much of a rush that an extra 30mins is gonna kill you to download something you prolly shouldn't be anyways ;)HEHE... I'm not mad at you tho, my moms uses my PC and i just hate the idea of her being on there. I made her an account and an email and now she's freaking stuck on it... lol I am so gonna build an old ass AMD K62 500mhz computer and let her have that. I'll just take my system and put it in my room.

damn windows XP allowing 2 accounts or more.. why did i even tell her that.

;) Hey, what's your number, i'll call you up and work on ISA Server with you :)

/me wishes his sister answers the phone instead so i can get to check her out! HEHE
