Sounds like you might want to look into delay pools. Setting up a class
1 delay pool with a decent bucket size, but a fairly slow fill rate
would allow someone to "load a page, read it, load another page, read
it", but would hinder someone else who was trying to stream music (or
movies).

Use "squid -v" to make sure you have delay pool support compiled in.
Then something like...
delay_pools 1
delay_class 1 2
delay_access 1 allow all
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 600/2000
...would give all available bandwidth to squid, give each computer a
staring pool of 16kb and a bucket refill rate of 4.8kb/s. See
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/DelayPools for more information.
