Fast Internet

Fast Internet Details
 big caveat to those who are hoping this will solve all problems: QoS on home routers only works for upload speeds. You can't really control the parsing of bandwidth for downloads (that would involve cooperation of your ISP - good luck). QoS ostensibly can control downloads somewhat, since ACK replies from your home machine to the server you've connected to would be controlled by QoS. But ACKs are so short compared to the download packet size that I'd be surprised if it actually worked well in the real world.

I have QoS set up for my VOIP on a somewhat-crappy internet connection. My VOIP still sucks if anyone else is using the connection (which usually means the kids sucking down videos on youtube). My best solution? Have a cable you can unplug, which leaves VOIP connected and everything else disconnected. Good solution for the occasional chat, not good for an office or otherwise.
