Worth a read if you are interested in this router or bandwidth sharing.

good find mate. I think the best thing to do is just ring them and ask. Can i have it so 3 people have a set bandwidth and thus downloading from one computer wont effect the other computers in anyway. I think thats what i will do.

Thanks for the link though mate

Surely there must be a software solution to this? Gotta be the cheapest way?

this one seems just fine, seems to do the bandwidth throttling as needed:
http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor2900.html..

The 'Bandwidth Throttling' feature lets you set a maximum throughput for each of the Vigor's four Ethernet ports, which can prevent a particular user (or segment) from taking all of your bandwidth.

You do realise just how incredibly stupid that is, don't you???
You don't want to throttle bandwidth to ports. You want to guarantee bandwidth to ports!!!
There's an enormous difference. i.e. what happens when only one port is busy. Think about it.
I hope they're just being lazy with their description.
