I've edited my reply a bit as it didn't put across my meaning well and in doing that I also took out the VOIP comment.

Your 7ms speedtest is higher than I normally see - my JDA testing which runs 24x7 normally shows 1-4 unless I'm actively downloading or uploading something sizeable. VOIP should still work well with 7ms. It was the big variations of 20ms in your command box ping that I meant but as that was a one off it's not enough to base my comment on.

Where jitter affects VOIP is when it is bad enough for packets to arrive out of sequence because that will obviously screw up the speach to some degree. If lots are oos it will be awful - I make sure I'm not hammering the downloads if the phone is being used.
