This probably won’t help much in reducing your usage. At most, it may make some streaming services decide to stream at a lower quality. Besides that, all of the things that you usually do will just take longer to do with the slower speeds. It may also discourage you from downloading anything because of how frustrated you’ll get from being limited to 10Mbps.
If there’s a way to solely limit streaming traffic to something like 1.5-2mbps (like mobile carriers) I would do that instead.
For public users:
30/5 if you have unlimited.
5/2 if you are limited. (They don’t have to front the bill if there’s overages)
Regardless, you don’t want guests to complain about the internet being slow. If you offer it, you have to accommodate both scenarios.
I think it will have a slight impact but not enough to reduce it by half or anything like that.
Unless of course I reduce the WAN speed to something like 2/1 which would be torture for everyone in my household.
Still its an interesting tool to use in pfsense.
@@Whiteboardcoder You sure you don't have a different provider? If you throttle yourself to DSL speeds, that's as good as getting something like T-Mobile Home Internet. Your provider sucks, and I have them too. Sadly, it's the only viable provider.
I would expect this could make a pretty big difference in a scenario where multiple people are streaming 4k movies frequently. I expect this will prevent 4k streaming and force SD/HD quality. That is my goal at an AirBnb right now. Time will tell if this ends up being a workable solution.
