limiting connection speed?

Is there a way I can limit the speed of the people that's also using my connection? Like my max speed is 150 kb, so if 2 other people are using my connection I can do a 3 way split making each person's connection like 50 kb max.

Why? Three people can all do 150 kb/sec at the same time.

Why? Because sometimes i play games and 1 other person using my connection would be using 99% of the 150 kb/sec which would cause me to lag even in a game like warcraft 3

You can do it in 2 ways.

1. you will need a bandwidth throttling piece of software to install on the other users machine.
2. You will need to use a router/managed switch that supports bandwidth shaping features.

In my experience, bandwidth throttling doesn't help much with latency issues :-(
