The client rates are set by the player in the game settings: 56k, cable/dsl, lan, etc. They will try and use up to that amount of data. If you set a maxrate on the server, that is all the data the client can have and no more. High bandwidth clients will try and take as much as possible thats why this is an important setting for the server.
The default maxrate is 9000 which is just fine for running a good game. Setting it higher is a waste, setting it lower starts to degrade game play.
Detail is set by the client not the server.
