No, unfortunately your ISP gives you bandwidth, not FreeBSD.
You can give yourself the illusion of guarenteed bandwidth using HFSC and pf 
altq, but at 500% of max bandwidth it is nothing more then an illusion. 
That's aside from the fact that HFSC only allows 75% of capacity to be 
designated as 'realtime'.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
