help needed from ppl living in saudi arab

hi guys
im in living in saudi arabia, in doha
i just moved here and got a 512dl-128ul connection
yet i can only use a max of 40kb for dl and 6 for ul
its almost stable with direct download and when using bittorent and mirc
but when im using wow its a different stroy
im sure i got everything right, a friend of mine is a computer scince graduate checked everything and didnt find anything wrong
anyone live in doha have the same prob with wow?
any suggestions would be welcomed
thanks for anyone welling to help even if s/he couldnt in advance

sounds like either a hardware or line problem, if your hardware is decent i suggest calling your isp and telling them about your problem they'll reconfig. your ports etc to make your line much faster.... good luck
