QoS is important on T1 circuits and makes voice higher priority. Voice can even be done on sub T1 circuits with excellent results. In this regard, there are some additional packet sizing and fragementation issues to worry about in order to make voice packet timing constant, but nothing impossible to over-come. There are commonly accepted industry practices for this. Old hat for many practitioners in the Voip world. Ray Burkholder

People are more accustomed to data networks going down; voice networks going down will make people shout.

That's generally true as well. But why would you need it? What's the advantage to be gained in using QoS to throw away packets, when the packets don't need to be thrown away? > As someone who is looking to deploy VoIP in the near future this is of particular interest. Go ahead and deploy it. It's easy and works well. It certainly doesn't need anything like QoS to make it work. -Bill
