If you configure your home network properly, you should be able to prioritize VoIP traffic above all else. When I'm on a call, I can still upload - my computer just isn't allowed to cut into Vonage bandwith by my router/firewall (Linksys).
Thanks - it's good to know that a slower circuit is an option to consider...
