Your setting the data rate to 1 Mbps to offer a 512k service ? Now that isn't very good nor smart. This means that your entire cell NEVER runs any faster then 1Mbps. ALL your customers are sharing 1Mbps.
Don't use the radio speed settings as a bandwidth throttle mechanism get a bandwidth shaper. Get a MikroTik box or a YDI BCU or something but by george do not set the radio speed to 1Mbit as a way of bandwidth throttle your clients... That is a waste of radiowaves.. I do sell MikroTik routers and bandwidth controllers so I'm somewhat biased but whatever you do don't do what you do today get yourself a real bandwidth shaper from me or from anyone else.. Because I hope you do understand by setting the data rate to 1Mbps means you limit ALL your clients to run at a TOTAL of 1Mbps (not 1Mbps per client to the AP but 1Mbps for ALL clients). Think of it as a single file road. If the speed limit is 20mph then only so many cars can pass a certain stretch of the road in any given time period (your 1Mbit setting). Now if you up the speed limit to 40mph (2Mbit setting) still single file road then twice as many cars (bytes) can be pass through on your road. If you up to 110mph (5.5Mbit) then you can now pass 5.5 times amount of cars in the same time period as on the 20mph single file road (more bytes can be uploaded or downloaded in the same time period). Now lets go all the way and do 11Mbit or 220mph.. Still single file road (you only use one frequency to talk to your clients)..
