you would need a decent router, costing a considerable amoutn of money, or alternatively a linux box to act as a router (and a not inconsiderable amount of time to get to grips with tc, qdiscs et al) to get that sort of functionality.
For example, when I was on dsl and wanted to play CS, I would run a script on my router that would limit my flatmate to 5k/s bandwidth, and prioritise packets coming from my computer above his.
