How many users do you have?

Well, for example:

 - are your clients all in a consistent network range, or are they spread 
across the Internet?

 - are multiple clients NATted behind a single router, or do they have unique 
IP addresses as far as Squid is concerned?

 - if clients are NATted, can you use a VPN so that Squid can see the real IP 
address of each user?

 - are you trying to limit the *inbound* bandwidth to Squid per user, or the 
*outbound* bandwidth from Squid to each user?

 - how many IP addresses and network interfaces does the Squid server have?

 - what's the primary reason for wanting to restrict the bandwidth per user?
