I've played with the bandwidth limiting in both 3.88 and 4.x. It doesn't
seem to work very well. If it set a user to 256K, they were getting like
80K. If I set them to 290K, they got about 220K. If I set them to say,
300K...they were getting around 500K.
I just decided to not use it. Mikrotik works better, plus, I can see who is
using what.
