Preseem is only one option. Free options do exist but they're more hands on to integrate with your billing system. I wanted ease of use and the pretty QoE data that shows us problem areas like congested ap's, wifi issues, etc. It's worth the 50 cents per sub/month in my eyes. If we had more subs then we'd explore an open source solution to save money. I'd say for most wisp's under 3k subs, preseem or cambium QoE are worth the price.
For us, it wasn't just about a good throttle solution like fq_codel, it was the QoE data to help us resolve issues that customers don't report and use it to confirm the fix. Preseem customer support is also very good.
