That's what I keep hearing (that it's QoS-like), but they don't mention it
anywhere on their website or in any literature.  I just keep reading it on
Internet forums (so it must be true!!!)

Usually at least TWC will *say *that business packets get priority, but the
don't even do that.

While I'd love to know what they are doing for academic reasons, what I
really want to know is if there is a statement on their website or anywhere
else saying that BC service actually gets packet prioritization...
