It does nothing to help inbound QoS, that has to be done on the other end of the link by your service provider. This is what NetNeutrality is all about. An ISP could easily kill Vonage or any other ITSP by destroying the QoS on their trafic. Ideally you would want to find a VoIP provider that can also provide your Internet bandwidth (but I'm biased). I prioritize my VoIP traffic from my switch on my network. All of my VoIP leaves my network as TDM. guaranteed call quality, 100% of the time. I can also provide true business PBX service off my switch, 4 digit dialing, unified messaging. You can't really do that with Vonage (last I checked). -Matt -- Matthew S.
