Vonage First, thanks for taking the time to reply...I appreciate it.

First, thanks for taking the time to reply...I appreciate it.
This appears to be a broken link. I realize that packet discards are packets that are arriving out of order, and too late to be pieced together in order in the receive buffer.
This is really the crux of the matter for me. The ISP has already been out to the house and has already blessed it as having great speeds up/down, low latency and no packet loss. In their minds, there's nothing left to do.
I suppose this answers my question above, which means Voip may not be possible for me, given the current status with the ISP. Is that really the case?
I read somewhere that if ISP's do "bandwidth shaping" or other allocation techniques, then Voip traffic could be compromised. Would any other techniques such as tweaking parameters or using a different method (IAX vs. SIP) or a different codec make a difference? I'd be willing to setup an Asterisk box to make this work if it would be worth it.
Yes, the modem is ISP-provided, though I don't see how that would make a difference, given that it is currently providing a strong signal, great dl/ul speeds, low latency and no packet loss.
To me, this is really a critical issue for Voip: Can an ISP's internal architecture make Voip a poor option for someone, or does it simply mean more tweaking?
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Charles
