When someone's running NAT, the bandwidth is distributed between the users
behind the NAT device.

If someone's assigned 512K, they can only use up to 512K, be it one
computer, or several behind a NAT device.






Ive often pondered the feasibility of port based bandwidth rate control,
and if broadband providers would ever actually implement it, whether
protected by Ts&Cs or not.
