As there is bonding and multilink routing to give higher aggregate link 
rates over many slow links. 

I am saying that Squid should not force people to take such 
counter-measures. Any behavior which will require a countermeasure to keep 
under control in most situations is undesired.

Have you even asked your ISP(s) if they are willing support any higher
connection rates using bonding or multilink routing? Maybe there is 
suitable ISPs available in your area which offers this as an option to 
provide higher dialup rates than a single modem is capable of, and this 
path provides a clearcut method of providing variable bandwidth with no 
hazzle at the application layers.. (just bring up/down as many links as 
you need for the bandwidth requirement)
