Now we are not prioritizing, but when we did try that, we used a router that gave up 100% priority to phone ip address. That made no difference.
Phone ip card is after switch that T1 goes into. Out of switch are 2 ethernet cables. One to firewall-network and one to phones. They each have their own static ip address.
What issues could I have if Diffserv is disabled?
Since you are basically going over the internet, Diffserv won't make a difference of call quality over the internet but can cause issues if it is turned on and the Cable companies are not configured to look for it. Diffserv would play a big role if you had an AVPN or MPLS network topology with multiple sites. It would give priority to the voice packets.
