QOS can only do so much. ultimately if someone is trying to eg. shove 80mbit of bandwidth up a 18mbit pipe then things are going to get messy.

Docsis has all the timeslot issues and such but things like varying pings will always be more evident on smaller shared pipes. I expect VM have to use large buffers to maximise throughput in congested areas, the alternative I suspect would be significant packet loss.
