I have mentioned this before, but our Sympatico routers are
configurable so that our ATAs get priority bandwidth. I don't remember
how I did this; it may have been through IP address. So if you could
prioritize your Asterisk box's IP, you might win. 

I agree with John that the "A" in ADSL is a big pain. Fortunately we
have not experienced much degradation, but I worry about it a fair
amount.
