I'm sure there is a bandwidth cap since 4 days ago. It didn't work like this before. I used to play WoW and use BitTorrent at the same time without having any lag. Now, I can't do that anymore.

Although Taiwan Earthquake damaged 8 undersea fibre optic cables before and it is being repaired, there was no bandwidth cap for TMNet before.

Another problem with TMNet is, all dynamic IP range is different.

219.95.xxx.xxx lags 24/7
218.111.xxx.xxx doesn't lag until today
219.94.xxx.xxx and 218.201.xxx.xx is inbetween those 2 above but it doesn't lag today

All of them got their bandwidth capped still.

The amount of data does affect your ping if your bandwidth is capped. Currently, the bandwidth cap is around 10kb/sec when it comes to certain locations outside Asia. If you download or upload something on that capped link that is the same as WoW at the cap limit, it will cause WoW to lag or disconnect. That's why WoW will lag or disconnect when it comes to raids.

I already tested it over and over again. Certain downloads or BitTorrent that is above 10kb/sec download causes me to disconnect or lag on Illidan.

Try maxing your connection out with a popular torrent while you play WoW. I get disconnects or lag everytime I run BitTorrent with WoW. I start lagging when my download reaches 10kb/sec.

Announcement from TMNet that the bandwidth will be fully restored by 20th:
