Yeah I don't think I'd call it terrorism by any reasonable definition. An act of aggression certainly but increasing latency/decreasing bandwidth due to a set of lost links is not by any means terrorism.

Nobody was physically harmed and it shouldn't have any real effect on essential or life preserving services (unless those services are incredibly poorly designed at which point the developers/maintainers should be held at fault).
