Has anyone tried this? I'm curious about experiences with this setup.

  Uh, yeah, since about 2002. apt-get install wondershaper Specify your upload/download speed. All done. It works really well if your upload and download speeds are predictable, as they were when I had cable. Now I have ADSL, and upload/download speeds vary with the weather (yes actually), and phase of the moon (probably), so it doesn't work so well, unless you set it to the lowest speed you are likely to see. (Don't do this on ADSL - it isn't pretty.)

    Note that CAKE is better than wondershaper and just as easy to use, but wondershaper is certainly better than nothing.

      It should be noted that wondershaper is now 16 years old, and it should be no surprise at all that there might be something a little better out there. It is fairly comprehensibly rubbished in https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Wondershaper_Must_Die/ https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Wondershaper...
