Default traffic shaping...

right guys i need your help on this one.

i am a victim of traffic shaping (pipex homecall broadband) and its driving me insane. between 5pm-11pm i can't get on any games at all! so i wan to to change isp but...

im living with parents and dad gets to make all these choices :freak:. when ever i ask him to change isp or tell him that our isp is NOT good i get "well it works fine for me".
well of course it works fine for him, he leaves his laptop on all day every day downloading movies and a bunch of other crap. This is serverely affecting the rest of the family and it needs to be stopped! everytime when he aint around i would kick him off the internet via the router but thats still not changing things.

well here is where you guys come in , i would like to know whether if i could do some 'traffic shaping' of my own. i want to limit the bandwidth going to my dads laptop and increase all the other computers.

i would like to do this via a small simple program if thats possible. currently my network consists of a belkin wireless router, a home desktop, and 3 laptops.


the point of this is A. to persuade my dad to change isp, and B. to increase speed for everyone else on this network.

all help will be appreciated
