Methods, modules, and computer program products for allocating bandwidth to a subscriber line that carries packet communications between devices networked across a wide area network are disclosed. At a wide area network access module that connects the subscriber line to the wide area network, at least one of the packets in a packet stream are analyzed to identify a type of protocol associated with the analyzed packet that is indicative of a bandwidth of the packet stream. The wide area network access module varies the bandwidth that is allocated to the subscriber line in response to the indicated; bandwidth of the packet stream. Packet communications through the subscriber line are constrained to no more than the allocated bandwidth.
