Of course none of those things were over SSL.

Do you have access to the Sonicwalls to inspect the configuration?
Our company uses Sonicwalls too, and in some or our locations we reserve a percentage of bandwith for our core business services using the built in "Ethernet BWM" settings in the Firewall -> Access Rules. When our users misbehave and start streaming world cup soccer our registers still function normally, similar to your experience with VOIP and IPTV.
Now it's an assumption that your sonicwalls are configured to prioritize bandwidth in the same way, but I guess my point here is I can relate a theoretical example of how VOIP and IPTV could work flawlessly during peak usage times and therefore don't see how this points to SSL or TOR as culprits.
