Sounds exactly like the Enta family of products where there is no
ISP-based shaping at all. (Roughly, available bandwidth at any moment is
divided equally amongst all online customers.) If I want to prioritise
VoIP - or BitTorrent for that matter - then it's up to me to do so.


Are you saying that a percentage of bandwidth is tied up doing nothing
just waiting for (say) ftp commands which could otherwise be
re-allocated to (say) web browsing? I find that hard to believe.
