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)
