Recommendation, come up with a "list" of service plans you would like to 
support (EG 256x256 data, 512x512, 1.5x512, etc etc), then code those "plans" 
into bandwidth controls.  Then all you have to do is add each customer to a 
"plan" and the bandwidth is done for you - and you end up with many, many 
less rules and better management.
