Anyhoo, to get a little bit deeper for the doubters,
Another point to concider here is that QOS isnt just about bandwidth, its also about queing at ports. You want voice packets to get "out" before anything else, and that means at the expence of anything else as a late packet of voice is as good as a dropped packet, its useless. Voice is NOT retransmitted, data is. If you have a voice transmission going on accross a network, and a file transfer at the same time you need to ensure that the voice packets are transfered and processed by the routers before anything else so that processing delay is reduced and that its not help up by a large packet of data.

Oh and by the way TCP is not used for voice transmission UDP is.
