I have lots of users, but I instead mark the type of traffic and shape on that. Optimum Wireless Services - what is your aim? Do you really want to limit bandwidth per user, or do you instead want to provide each user with a fair share of bandwidth and fast internet access? If it is the latter, you are better to not mark per user, but instead mark the traffic type and use tc's hash functionality to share the bandwidth between client IP address, rather than the default which is per connection.
