I have the same set up for my adsl connection. I think the problem you
describe is the bane of all us home network users. I haven got a perfect set
up but I recomend looking at this attachment, which is from another post to
this list a while back.

This works quite well, but since you know exactly what the problem is (UO
requires a set amount of bandwidth to keep a good ping) I suggest using a
packet sniffer to find out what ports UO uses and make a seperate bandwith
class just for that port. Forget about the TOS bits from what ive seen they
dont work reliably.
I also think that this setup puts HTTP traffic into the fast class which is
good for when your browsing webpages while somone downloads a big file, but
it does mean that if you look at a particualy large page, (big lists
generated by ASP or somthing) it can hog the bandwidth for a couple of
seconds
