The teenagers each have a mobile, a laptop, and friends; almost every month the Download cap is reached; the ISP has outrageous excess charges; and no-body knows where all of the the GB went.
Share Downloads fairly between family members.
Assign a fixed static IP address to each device (mobile, laptop, tablet etc) and keep the static IPs for each person together in a group.

Assign an equal share to each family member. For example: if the Download cap is 100GB/month then each family member could be assigned a quota of 100GB / 30days / 4people = 833MB/day. Round up to say 1GB/day.
| Bandwidth Quotas | |
|---|---|
| 192.168.1.50-192.168.1.59 | Max Total Download = 1GB/day |
| 192.168.1.60-192.168.1.69 | Max Total Download = 1GB/day |
| 192.168.1.70-192.168.1.79 | Max Total Download = 1GB/day |
| 192.168.1.80-192.168.1.89 | Max Total Download = 1GB/day |
| All Hosts without Explicit Quota's (Combined)1) | Max Total Download = 100MB/day |
