I'm installing a new fiber internet connection for my business. I need to be able to segerate data from internal and external users. I can do that via vlans. However, I need to be able to limit the amount of bandwidth I'm providing my external users so as to not bog down my internal/business needs. I believe I can do this setting up bandwidth limits in QoS. I have a couple of older Netgear FVS318G switches but the up and download limits are 100,000 kbps (100mbps) which is too low. I need to be able to allocate around 450mbps to one vlan and the remaining 50mbps to the other.
Can you recommend a Netgear switch that will do this.

I recommend you the M4300 series switch models. Kindly read about QoS on pages 471-499 of the M4300 Series Switches user manual here.
To know more about the specification of the M4300 switch series models, check its data sheet here.

This is not only a pure switch job - you need a router able to handle multiple networks, multiple IP subnets, the ability to do many2one NAT for teo or more IP subnets. I suggest to invest in a decent router or security appliance, and look into the Netgear Smart Managed Pro range. If you intend to keep the management simple, I suggest to loo into Netgear's Insight solution. This makes your plan a snap...
