The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.

Bandwidth Throttling, AKA QoS: How I do?

The use of the internet in my home was never a picture of perfection, but lately things have been getting a bit out of hand. Users are scarcely in the door before latency across the board skyrockets from a low 60-100 to over 3000. They load up youtube videos, start torrenting, and other crap that generally hogs the bandwidth and pushes gaming to the side of the road.
I know there are options in most routers to prioritize traffic if the service supports it, but my 2wire router (model 2701HG-B) doesn't seem to have anything like it in its options. The closest is 'traffic shaping', and that appears to be solely for limiting one's upstream speed (and provides no options whatsoever for what kind of traffic - just a flat KB number).
Outside of QoS, is there any other techy stuff I can do to prioritize flow? Do I just need to get a new router? Tricks?
