I must apologize, this was never meant as a way to 'cheat' any customer out
of anything they pay for. I was simply trying to figure out how to offer a
low-end, better than dial-up, solution for around the same price as dial
with 320/16 burst to 128. the only way I could do this is to *pubilicly* and
with the customers knowledge limit these accounts, so they do not eat my
bandwidth. People whom subscribe to the 640/320 would *always* get what they
paid for. I guess I was not clear in what I was asking for, ideas in shaping
PPPoE traffic. I was acutalluly trying to figure out how to let this low end
account enjoy more bandwidth for a short period of time, if available. Are
there many Engineers that are 'ripping' their customers?
