Haven't used it yet, sorry..
But still a comment:

Freifunk experience here tells that in shared gateways via ADSL the 
uplink is usually a much more limiting factor than the downlink. So I 
would propose something along the lines of

new_path_cost = (1 / 2*(min (uplink*4, downlink))) + (tc_path_cost / 4)

(without having a real opinion on the weighting factors, just introduced 
1/2 to preserve the magnitude of the original suggestion)
