FaceTime works well, but only between two parties. Skype used to work well, but has inexplicably gotten worse - anecdotally of course.

I'm not saying the lack of prioritisation is why it fails, or that prioritisation will fix everything. But lower latency and higher bandwidth doesn't seem to hurt. Going from 100Mbps to 1Gbps made a huge difference. And 1Gbps isn't that much, you can now get it some residential areas in the UK for a very reasonable £63 (about 80 USD) per month.
Again UK specific, but some ISPs have much, much better routing than others (even with "net neutrality"). Of course, in the UK ISPs have to do various government filtering, which probably adds several milliseconds...
