Draytek 2800 series routers have adequate traffic management on outgoing 
traffic to do a reasonable job. (There is a very little you can do to 
shape incoming traffic)

However you need to make sure that the actual Internet connection isn't 
where the bottleneck is. Try making calls when you can guarantee that no 
other traffic is flowing into/out of each end.
