After a bit of research it appears that due to the WAR client using both UDP and TCP it may be treated in the same way as P2P traffic. It may also be totally out of PlusNet's hands as BT seem to have a very blunt approach to packet shaping once you're onto their wires. Might try a replacement router to see if the new MAC address lets me play again.
I did download an episode of dirt sexy money for the wife last week using Vuze (first time it's proved to be a useful application lol), I'll be gutted if that has raised some sort of flag on my account at PlusNet. Well, I won't actually be that gutted, I'll just change ISP and see if that cures the problem.

Do a wireshark capture to make sure it's been profiled properly http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/troubleshooting/wireshark_video.shtml
Also if you post your router stats and a speedtest from http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk and the profile from http://speedtester.bt.com

just did a bt speed test, but closed the page before reading your reply. Actual through put was about 6500, ip profile was about 7150, so no issues there. Not sure about the other tests you mentioned, will give them a bash now.

I did install an application from Sony that night, Media Manager, something to do with downloading Sony PSP content. I've uninstalled it since, and have re-installed the WAR game client (to a different location on my hard disk), so I doubt if it could be causing the problems, but you never know...
RIght Wireshark has downloaded so I'll see what that can tell me.

I ran a Wireshark capture right through login to entering the game world. I can't really interpret the results though - it looks to me as though every entry that has my IP as a destination has a differentiated services field of 0x00 - I've been right through it and they all show the same. Also every entry that has my IP address as source shows a TCP checksum incorrect. I tried to attach that too but the file extension isn't allowed. Not sure what to look for, but certainly no sign of Titanium traffic queuing!

Can you do a screen grab of the wireshark output.
I'll see if I can find another post to show what I mean.
