I'm gonna install fiber in my home with an 100 Megabit connection. I have 3 pc, I want to give to the first computer just 5 Megabit, the second computer 10 Megabit and the last one 85Megabit. How can I manage this thing? The modem is an "Telecom Smart modem Technicolor". All PCs have Windows 10.

Since there is no universal set of instructions for all routers, here is the general idea (Some googling should help):
- Setup Static DHCP. This fixes the IP addresses of your computers.(somewhere in LAN settings under Advanced)
- Go to QoS settings and and setup the priority. Also setup the minimum bandwidth of the 10Mbps and 85 Mbps computers.
Done
Assuming you have a Cisco switch or router, you can add a policy on the interface to shape the traffic to the amount you wish. It is done pretty easily:
mls qos
ip access-list extended ACL_5mbps
permit ip any any
class-map match-all CLASS_5mbps
match access-group name ACL_5mbps
policy-map POLICY_5mbps
class CLASS_5mbps
police 5000000 100000 exceed-action drop
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
description 5 Mbps limit port
service-policy input POLICY_5mbps
It is even easier on a Cisco router:
mls qos
class-map match-any CLASS_5mbps
match any
policy-map POLICY_5mbps
class CLASS_5mbps
shape average 5000000
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
service-policy output POLICY_5mbps
