you can set up mrtg to monitor the client's connection. (this can be done
with ip accounting and a little perl script). you can get some ideas
here[1].
with this you can monitor the bandwidth usage on a per-client basis in
realtime, and when you want to cut someone out, then you can add an acl
restriction in squid.
