Short answer: You can't.
Longer answer: You don't control the speed at which incoming data is
received. You only control the speed at which outgoing data is sent.
Therefore, you do not control the priorities which you seek to set.
Furthermore, there really aren't any such "priorities", the speed of the
data is controlled only by the capacity of the network hardware in between
you and the remote sites.
It would be possible to write software (which would have to be run at the
ISP in the form of a proxy) that could allow such regulation to take
place. I'm not aware of any such software, however.
