Overwriting the tos flags is not "best effort", it is "degraded service" Oh sure, it might be BE on your specific network, but all the user sees is loss of signal. IE, it was degraded.
customers seem to understand that "you get what you pay for", and special treatment in the form of QoS costs more money.
Again, you are under no obligation to do anything with QoS flags from non-paying customers, and I'm not advocating for anybody to get a free ride here.
