asterisk users - Jun 2005 - Linksys WRT54GP2-NA settings for performance and low bandwidth?

So I'm using a WRT54GP2-NA when I travel, as I travel alot, to give me a
phone at my hotel rooms, etc.   During the day or late at night the thing works
great - best ATA I've ever used.

However, in the mid-evening (when many business travellers are at the hotel room
doing work), the outgoing audio channel gets so choppy that the person on the
other end can't make me out clearly.   Interestingly, I can usually hear
them just fine - I attribute that to larger incoming bandwidth than outgoing on
the hotel's part.

This device has a *lot* of settings that one can tweak.   Anyone have any
suggestions on tuning this thing (or tuning Asterisk or both) to improve the SIP
performance of the audio from the Linksys to the server to try to reduce
choppiness?   I note that Vonage, who also uses these devices, seems to have got
it down - it doesn't seem to matter where I use my Vonage Linksys device, I
can get pretty reasonable performance.   So I figure I should be able to do
similar tweaks to mine... *shrug*

regards,

Paul

Nothing you can do on this one..  Without the provider accepting your
QoS settings, you are at their mercy.  And yes, you are correct, most
multi-tenant dwellings use xDSL for their connectivity due to it's
price, and the upstream is usually less bandwidth than the downstream..
