With Bandwidth caps an unfortunate reality for now. I wish there was an easy way to see and limit how much data a user can use in the month or per day. I would also like the ability to set one users bandwidth to say 4Mbs (Family) and another to 2Mbs (Friend), also would be nice to be able to set priority to some users over others for streaming. Right now I monitor my internet usage and manually turn off everyone until bandwidth becomes more available.

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate (per-user bandwidth, caps)
