Traffic shaping is unnecessary if ISPs provide reserved capacity per QoS tier, per customer. Every customer gets X mbits/s of high priority/low latency traffic, with the rest treated as best effort.
That way the customer can decide what they want their own priorities to be without interfering with other customers.
These concepts can be applied to both outbound and, to a limited extent, inbound traffic. Throttle the customer+QoS pair, not the technology.
