We are limited by what the HW can do here.  The Juniper ERX's we use aggregate 
multiple 10.000's of users.   So Queue handeling must be supported in silicone. 
 We do have a queue pr customer, but we cant support HTB.

I'm not sure what our competition use, but we mainly use fiber.  There are some 
edge cases using alternative backhaul such as radio.  Norway has challenging 
topology for infrastructure, so some will have to suffer unfortunately. :)
