Yes, you can use any RADIUS attributes with Freeside.  Setup RADIUS 
groups, assign attributes to those groups (Configuration -> Services -> 
RADIUS -> RADIUS groups), and then put your service definitions in the 
appropriate groups (Configuration -> Services -> Service definitions).

I would suggest reading up on RADIUS and experimenting with the RADIUS 
integration.

If you're using RADIUS attributes, you set this up as per above, you 
don't use "speed_up" and "speed_down" for this.


Hope that helps and the software can be useful for you!

This is a feature of a front-end hotspot or portal device, not Freeside.  
Freeside is a back-office application, not a standalone hotspot or 
portal.

You can use an existing hotspot or portal device with Freeside to 
provide this functionality.  Freeside supplies the signup page for 
setting up such a system as well as real-time credit card charging and 
RADIUS provisioning.
