Answer 2

If your dsl modem is a new  2wire modem then yes, if not I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST to get one (50$ about).

If not get a old pc and put a linux live cd in it to filter users or get a linksys wrt router.

Answer 3

You can limit and restrict bandwidth with an Internet router that supports QoS (Quality of Service). Many Linksys and other major brands have this option.
