Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for controlling levels of quality of service (QoS) for transmitting data between a terminal and a network, comprising: enforcing a first level of a QoS to a connection between the terminal and the network; receiving a specific user-requested, second level of the QoS from the terminal, wherein the specific user-requested second level of the QoS is independent of network availability; determining, after receiving the specific user-requested, second level of the QoS, a currently-available level of the QoS on the network; determining a third level of the QoS based at least in part on the currently-available level of the QoS on the network and based in part on the received specific user-requested, second level of the QoS; and enforcing the third level of the QoS to the connection between the terminal and the network.
