So, two questions:

 1. If you limit the protocols on your guest wireless, is there
    anything not in the list above that you've found it necessary to
    allow?
 2. If you limit the bandwidth (speed) on your guest wireless, what
    are your download/upload limits (speeds), and what does that
    allow/not allow (e.g., streaming audio/video).


1.  We essentially follow the eduroam recommended protocols, see
https://www.eduroam.us/node/69.
2.  First 128MBytes is free/unlimited, then it's 1Mbps for the next
128MB, and 512k thereafter (24-hour window).

The "Guest" access is also essentially outside our firewall.

And I concur with the strategy that you want it to "suck just badly
enough" that real folks would tend to get on the real wireless network.
