Some DSL ISP's in the states offer capped bandwidth at different pricing
steps.

If I understand the problem correctly, it's not so much that he has too much
bandwidth, but that they use too much of it too quickly.

There are fairly expensive software bandwidth management solutions, like
Floodgate from Checkpoint, or hardware boxes like the Packeteer.

Linux is an option, but I do remember an MS Proxy plug-in from a Company in
Wellington called Innovus (Can't remember the product sorry) which let you
quota and account for your users excess usage, which is the real problem
here. If they exceed the quota, game over until they're released.

Of course you could just audit your proxy logs manually and on-bill your
heavy users for excess usage.

That should slow them down!
