Did this apply to your connection to the net, or just internally?  I am 
most concerned with the link between the customer premise and the "next 
hop" router, which is the slowest link in the path.  We pay dearly for 
bandwidth down here, so most customers have only a 256Kbps radio link. 
Should be plenty for VoIP, and it is, until they start using it for 
something else at the same time.

Cheers,
