High Latency World of Warcraft (upto2000ms)

Question

Hi guys,
I'm wondering if anyone can help diagnose the problem im having of an evening while playing world of warcraft normally i used to sit at a nice 45-55ms home/world in WoW but the last week it has jumped up to 600-2000ms my bb speed is fine even while the latency is high as i have done some tests using speedtest.net while having high latency, it shows the same 600-2000ms but speed is unaffected it seems,
Info from my home hub
Line state Connected Connection time 0 days, 01:29:18
Downstream 7,616 Kbps
Upstream 448 Kbps
ADSL Settings
VPI/VCI 0/38
Type PPPoA
Modulation G.992.1
Annex A
Latency type Interleaved
Noise margin (Down/Up) 11.2 dB / 24.0 dB
Line attenuation (Down/Up) 26.5 dB / 15.0 dB
Output power (Down/Up) 13.4 dBm / 1.6 dBm
Loss of Framing (Local/Remote) 0 / 0
Loss of Signal (Local/Remote) 0 / 0
Loss of Power (Local/Remote) 0 / 0
FEC Errors (Down/Up) 11 / 0 CRC Errors (Down/Up) 10 / 5
HEC Errors (Down/Up) 17 / 0
Error Seconds (Local/Remote) 9 / 1
As i said the speed is fine and im happy with my speeds its just the latency is stopping me playing with my mates online of an evening.
I am connected to the master socket to the home hub>ethernet cable>pc i tried replacing the ethernet cable too.
Just other info that may or may not be required
Download speed achieved during the test was - 5820 Kbps For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps. Additional Information: Your DSL Connection Rate :7616 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM) IP Profile for your line is - 6500 Kbps
Thanks

Answer 1

I see the exact same problem of an evening whilst too am playing Wow, ...that this only happens of an evening surely suggests that it is how the traffic is being managed by BT that would be causing such issue ?
Away from Wow of an evening I do still get to see very good net.
Have just in the last few mins been disconnected from the game, immediately prior I was seeing a latency of 41ms Home and 682ms World.

Is my service being "Throttled" of an evening a guild friend has suggested to me, summat about how BT might be interpreting p2p signals.
I dont really understand such..just relating some of that that has been suggested to me as a cause for this problem.
