Yeah, it's mostly consumer grade stuff. The switch is a cisco switch (not sure which), routers are higher-end consumer routers.

I don't know if we've tried QoS but that sounds promising if it can limit the torrenters. Something always seemed to go really wrong when we would try to aportion bandwidth by apartment, however - tenants would have their internet cut in and out really often. Maybe that's the tuning aspect?

Just frustrating because with 200mbps it seems like we should have adequate bandwidth to provide for four apartments. But the tech guys can't seem to get it figured out.

Thanks for your input!
