Weekend Outages Plague Blizzard

As any of you who have logged on to the game this weekend probably noticed, there is a login message from Blizzard,
warning players that they are experiencing ISP-related outage problems. The explanation given by the devs is as follows:

"We'd like to make all players aware that at this time our internet service provider is experiencing significant complications, and as a result the playability on a large portion of realms has been adversely affected. Symptoms include but are not limited to lag, random disconnections and slow authentication. Our network technicians are doing everything in their power to work with our ISP so that this issue may be resolved as swiftly as possible."

Personally, I've noticed some lag, but nothing much worse than normal,
at least not on my regular servers (Lightninghoof & Cenarion Circle). Have any of you been hit by these reported outages?

*UPDATE* – Five minutes after I posted that, I was booted from Lightninghoof & the world server went down. So much for good faith...
