Wrong again. Jeez, for someone who works at or with Comcast you should know better. Do we need to teach you what the internet is? Comcast does connect to the Public Telephone network earlier than say a Skype does. But using the cable infrastructure from homes to their termination point is the internet, is VoIP, and does use QOS on this portion. But why am I telling you this? You already know it.

And even your first line: "...when error correction (which is the usual method) would be useless because voice calls must be immediate..."

"Useless" is a little strong since this is exatly how Skype and the other cheap VoIP services work. It is also why the quality of these services is sub par to the likes of Comcasts service and is why ASNAP (for Voice service) can not work effectively on "every" WiFi hotspot out there.
