If anyone on your network is uploading heavy traffic while a call is active, such as posting pictures on Picasa, you will get poor voice quality. This can be corrected (as in 'totally fixed') with a Hawking Technology HBB1 Broadband booster. Cost is about $50. It sits in-line between your cable modem and internal router. It ensures that streaming connections (such as vonage) gets the bandwidth it requires.
I use vonage too and love it. BTW - I beleive there are control within vonage itself that work like the system you mention above.
