We don't do anything special on our regular wireless.  Guest access is rate limited and
port restricted, we try and make it suck "just enough" that only a desperate guest will
use it, and not our faculty/staff/students that should register on our secured WPA2
network :)

Everyone (well, servers are exempt) is subject to a rolling 24-hour quota of traffic so
that if you exceed "x" gigabytes in a day, we'll start rate-limiting your traffic to "y"
Mbps (or Kbps if they really get carried away).  The values for "x" and "y" have varied
as our bandwidth availability and demand have changed.
