Ok.

So use HTB ( or HFSC ) for that, just create a new qdisc/class/filter for 
every user that connects to your concentrator. 

---internet(eth0)--- linux --- pppoe_clients(eth1)----

What you should do:
+ prepare kernel with IMQ ( it's one of the possbile solutions )
+ attach imq0 to ppp+ ( now all traffic outgoing on interfaces pppX will go 
through imq0 )
+ before pppoe-server starts, attach htb/hfsc qdisc root to eth0 and imq0, 
prepare classes etc.
+ launch pppoe-server
+ write scripts (if-up/if-down) that create/destroy classess/filters/qdiscs on 			
	a) eth0 ( limiting upload )
	b) imq0 ( limiting download for client )

+ tune your setup ;) ( the info about bw limits could be fetched from RADIUS 
server using additional atttributes )

But first you should understand QoS on Linux deeply.

Ask google for:
lartc
htb
imq

BTW: This group is not intended to ask question about Linux QoS and rp-pppoe.

If you have trouble doing this i advice using FreeBSD as showed in WARTA 
HowTo.
