Okay a couple of things...
First of all, I think you're confusing QoS with stable internet connection. You can have a great internet connection and not have QoS enabled at all. To quote from Wikipedia, "In the field of computer networking and other packet-switched telecommunication networks, the traffic engineering term quality of service (QoS) refers to resource reservation control mechanisms rather than the achieved service quality. Quality of service is the ability to provide different priority to different applications, users, or data flows, or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow."
So with this in mind, QoS is basically setting priorities to the protocols running within the confines of your local network to the internet connection. If your connection works great for internet browsing, downloading music, watching IPTV, etc... you probably need to implement QoS rules. This goes no matter what internet service provider you have.
Setting up QoS depends on how your setup is. Is your Vonage adapter plugged directly into the Comcast cable modem or is the Vonage adapter plugged directly in first?
Either way, you'll need to login to the device and setup QoS based upon your network connection. You can unplug everything but the computer and the cable modem to define a baseline of what your internet speed is. Then setup rules that say any SIP or RTP data packets are given the highest QoS. This will push web browsing, data downloads, etc... to a lower priority making your phone calls with Vonage sound much more clear. Here is a quick and dirty QoS setup with DD-WRT routers. http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3649346
I hope this may help you understand the difference between a good quality ISP and QoS within your local network.
