The ADSL line that I use for my VoIP needs is somewhat faster than this, clocking in at 768kbps upstream, but I nevertheless find it very beneficial to send my VoIP packets to the "head of the queue" using a Linux bridge that I have inserted into my network between my DSL CPE (bridge) and the rest of my network.

What's the point?
You can prioritise as much as you like at your own end, but as soon as it leaves
your premises and enters the 'net, all bets are off!
Even the contention ratio of the DSL circuit (as provided by your ISP) can kill you.
QOS is really only useful in a point-to-point scenario, or in a meshed network
that honors QOS on all links.
If you really want to experiment, grab an old PIII for $50 off e-bay, and setup
a linux box as a router behind your DSL modem. You can play with QOS as much as
you like then, without forking out $500.
