How can one limit the bandwidth of a whole PC, and not just a specific process. I’m gonna move into a new home, but I will only have around 1,800 kb/s internet speed. This is a bit a problem, because I’m working as a web designer and need to download large programs/graphics frequently. Also I need to be able to access some home pages flawlessly such as those on my company’s developer server or the site form one of our customers.
As my family also uses the Internet, I need to limit the bandwidth of other PCs in my network or else Netflix, Youtube etc. will saturate the whole Internet connection. There is one Mac Pro, and two PCs which are using Windows 8.1 in my network. Maybe I also will buy a Raspberry Pi, to download large files at night, but this device won’t need a bandwidth limitation.
My router doesn’t support “Quality of Service” (QoS) and I can't change the router because the ISP does not allow custom routers.
Is there any possibility to limit the bandwidth of an entire PC, so that I can evenly split my Internet speed?
I created the sketch below to clarify what I want to achieve:
