I have a very high quality business ISP that currently provides me 50gb per month. I run a web design company from home, and this has been plenty for me - never exceeded the limit, until my son started playing online games with Steam. Now he seems to use more bandwidth in a day than I do in a week.
Now I am looking into ways of sorting this out. Obvious one - 'You cant play online anymore' but he likes to play with his friends online. So I believe it is possible to do this with the QoS feature of my router - which is a Billion BiPac7800N.
It looks like I can assign different rates to different ports and IP addresses and protocol and direction. SO there should be some way of doing it. Anyone done this? Any tips for me?
Cheers

Steam Throttle Download Speed
- How to boost your Steam download speed. Tired of waiting for your game update or new game download? Here's a tip to speed up your connection to Steam and spend your time playing, not waiting.
- For a while I thought it was an issue with my router or local base station, but it is now apparent that RAIN is throttling my download speeds. Speedtest shows an amazing download speed of 70mbps.
- Then if that is ok go on the steam forums there are certain ports being open on your router that can sometimes help. In addition remember the download speeds you have are only as good as the upload speed the server has. For example if you have a car that can only do 70mph but the speed limit is 150mph, you will still only do 70mph.
- While Steam will do it's better to provide users with optimal rates of speed available — Steam's download rates of speed will largely rely upon the speed of your web connection. Though it's understandable that not everyone has usage of a powerhouse web connection, there are many things you can immediately do to raise your current online.
