You mean as in trying to signal RSVP-based resource 
reservation from your network to your ISP's network? As in 
IntServ?

Well, if your ISP won't support QoS, how would you expect to 
have your QoS policy implemented end-to-end? If you 
implemented it on your routers, it would only be "on" in 
your network. Once your QoS'ed packets enter your ISP's 
network, they won't be given any corresponding treatment.

Unless I'm missing something...
