Well, no. That's what that software is for.  When bandwidth is capped per 
connection.  Our cap isn't per connection, so 1 person or 4, bandwidth 
doesn't change.  What does change is all the extra processes hogging CPU 
and memory resources.  Regardless, whether it is to hog all the bandwidth 
or to unecessarily bog down the server, it's a crappy reason and such 
software should die.
