Me, and a lot other people are experiencing horrible latency times (2000-3000 ms and more) and lags (10000-15000 and more) across all German realms for about 2-3 weeks now. Blizzard said that they "are working on a solution", but we haven't noticed anything but rather lame excuses so far, i.e. "it's, among other things, a problem of a big German provider yaddayadda ...".
So, what are your ping rates, and a question for the U.S. players here in this forum: Do or did you have similar latency/lag problems, and if, what did Blizzard do about them?

Blizzard has had problems in the past with their ISPs, most notably AT&T on either USWest or USEast, I can't recall which (think it was West). This was during D2. So it's entirely possible.
As for lack States-side, I don't recall much, if any, due to ping, other than the server itself being HAMMERED by a flood of players. ;)
My guess would be that it is indeed an ISP issue, not Blizzard, which would also explain the tardy fixes, as it would be out of Blizzard's hands.
