You will also have to run it again every time you reboot.
I'm curious as to why this command is needed at each reboot? If my memory serves correct, then this is a symlink to /dev/input/js0. If this command is issued as root, then it should be a permanent file.

When you say 1.5 do you mean 1.5 Mbps downstream? If so then 400 KB/s is faster then 1.5 Mbps. 1.5 Mbps should equate to 192 KB/s if I'm not mistaken.

If you were using Linux then you could go with QoS/Fair Queing that's built into the kernel. Of course it's free unlike netlimiter, but then you'd also have to run Linux or actually simply have a linux router allowing your desktop machines to utilize Win32.
