Do you have any kind of QoS operating on your system? Perhaps your download activity is such that you don't really need QoS.
I guess the big issue is what I call 'heavy download'.
Sometime I have trouble getting a response to an http request, because I have what I am describing as 'heavy download' happening. Even in the midst of this, I can still make a clear call, but the penalty I pay is 1 to 2 sec. buffering time when the call initiates. I'm pretty sure that is how the Ooma box clears bandwidth for the call.
I don't have this kind of noticeable 'training up' when I have my full band width available.
As an aside, I learned about a month ago, that the FCC defines "Broadband" as greater than 3.5 Mbps.
And here's a picture to start another thread. We are paying more and getting less.
USA! USA! USA! (Canada, too!)

Notice that the OECD defines broadband as 45 Mbps or greater. Daox, I think that we are hillbillies.
