I'm sharing my home wireless network, using a DIR-655 Wireless Router with 3 other people (2 using windows machines and one use mac laptop, I also use a mac laptop). I need to know how can I limit internet traffic from their computers.

Reason: I pay for the internet, but I'm having to pay extra every month because I'm going over the bandwidth limit of my internet provider.

Sometimes routers have a QoS (Quality of Service) options that might be helpful in this situation. Sorry for not being more specific, but hopefully it might get you better results searching with that term or looking for QoS settings in your router configuration.

use a router that is supported by DD-WRT (the D-Link DIR-655 is not supported)

* supports more than 200 different devices
* comprehensive functionality
* supports all current WLAN standards (802.11a/b/g/n*)
* supports outdoor deployment*
* supports enhanced frequencies *
* VPN integration
* supports various Hotspot systems
* bandwidth management
* multilingual user interface

for the Windows computers, you may use NetLimiter, a nice software solution
