My current thinking If I were to implement the policy as more than an experiment then I think I'd set DSCP 46 for identifiable VoIP, 26 for speedtest.net, and 0 for everything else.

I wonder what other traffic might get prioritized as a result?

    I can set a higher priority DSCP value on speedtest.net
    <http://speedtest.net> traffic. I
    tested this on one SM and it works great.  On a busy AP at 9:30pm
    I was
    getting speedtest results from 12-20mbps.  I set the speedtest
    traffic
    to DSCP 26 and enable a "medium" priority channel and now it's 34mbps
    every single time without fail (and at my data rate, frame size, etc
    that's all I could ever hope for).

    The question is: Would this be evil?

    The feeling is that for some customers there's nothing actually wrong
    except they run speedtest.net <http://speedtest.net>
    simultaneously as their XBox downloads a
    game and then call to report "slow" speeds.  The feeling is that it
    would be easier to just let them see a bigger speed test number
    than to
    educate them (and some will always refuse to be educated).

    The evil part is that it would mask an actual congestion problem.

    There's also a notion being tossed around the office that our
    competitors are already doing this.  I have no idea if they actually
    are, and I'm also not sure if I care what they're doing.
