As someone who is the technical lead for several ISPs, it is my professional 
opinion that you haven't a clue how to run such a thing.

Torrent does not interfere with VOIP on a well-designed network any more than 
FTP or web browsing.

Honestly, hire a competent admin to set up and run your infrastructure.  If 
torrent's killing VOIP, that means that adding more VOIP will also kill it.  
Or "excessive" web browsing.

Thank God I'm not one of your customers.
