both in 32kbps

not the case

right

only by the ISP, but he don''t carre what it''s in my band, he
only shape
to garantee to all the clients (his) the 32kbit or whatever they bought

yes, i tryed this:
class 1:1 .... prio 1 <-- web request
class 1:2 .... prio 2 <-- acks
class .....
but with not to mouch resoult.
the logic i came with is: i send prio 1 the web request, but my provider
don''t send it prio 1 too, and/or the result of the request, get into
the provider R2 shaper and get fifo with all the other packets (download
mostly), so i get none gain.
so the concluzion is that i can do anything/much.

yes, but more cost too much
