Assuming your provider completely ignores QOS, it is still not a 
complete waste of time.

If for example you have 5 people on the LAN, 4 uploading files to a 
remote server and 1 trying to make a phone call.

If you were to put the packets for the uploads into say bin 3 and Voip 
into bin 1, your customers would definitely notice an increase in quality.

Agreed that's it's not going to work for inbound if your provider 
ignores it, but you still control outbound (and on asymmetric 
connections, outbound usually has the least bandwidth).
