> When you look into details like 911 calls over Wifi shouldn't actually share priority with 4k VR porn. That's irrelevant, because sane people don't try to stream 4k VR porn and make 911 calls simultaneously on the same device. Just give each device ~64Kbps (enough for even a uncompressed phone call) that it has exclusive first dibs on. For robustness, give each modem ~1Mbps that it has exclusive first dibs on, so 16 people in the same house can't stomp on each other's traffic[0]. This works fine even if the porn and the 911 calls are both going over indistiguishable TOR connections, as they ideally should be in order to deny ISPs the physical possibility of not having net neutrality (though that's not always practical). (A alternative option is to always allocate marginal bandwidth to the device that's using the least bandwidth total, which avoids having to know what a phone call costs, but seems like it would harder to make reliable in practice.) 0: Technically this is the only part you can properly enforce, since a user could reprogram their modem to give more bandwidth to certain devices, but the 64Kbps/device limit is good default, and if they change it, any problems are on them.
