I've been a user of SmoothWall, both the Corporate and Express version, 
for quite some time now. They do not have any bandwidth control in the 
Express version, but they do have it as an add on module for the 
Corporate version ("SmoothTraffic - SmoothTraffic adds network traffic 
management to your SmoothWall Corporate Server. The administrator can 
choose the priorities and bandwidths to give to different sorts of 
traffic to make the best use of your internet connection.").

If you have any questions on SmoothWall, you're welcome to contact me - 
I've been a mostly happy user of it.
