Funny, I was just answering an internal question about this, last week.

As with all things Internet, my stance is if you don't have end-to-end
control, trying to do QoS is pointless.

That said, I believe it should be possible to apply some kind of
meaningful, end-to-end QoS together with Microsoft if you took up one of
their Express Route services, given that is considered a private,
premium service.
