WoW transfer's minimal data, not enough to warrant throttling from an ISP on that traffic alone. (Unless you live in a country that pay's per Mb of data. Reports put it at around 100MB/hr on the high end)
The problem in hobbes's SS, is that Tiscali's core router to Level3's backbone was congested, either at a specific time or just all together. Tiscali either needs a bigger/more powerful router to handle the traffic or the "internet" was simply congested at that time. e.g lots of traffic
With your logic, your problem could also lay within your first hop. i.e. your home router.
