Dixi,
I don't with Squid, but with HTB you could adjust the priorities. Also
check your rates and ceil to make sure they add up and are lower then
upstream devices. The rates don't have to add up, but the ceils should.
You often don't the full upload bandwidth from cable or DSL. This will
lower the effectiveness of HTB.
You can also had a SFQ qdisc to increase "fairness"
If you have critical apps like VOIP and SSH you may want to lower the
ceil for everything else. This will improve lag a bit.
