Are any other AU server players getting huge lag?

After starting up Blacklight I noticed the AU servers were back up, really looking forward to playing with great ping, I joined the first one I saw. For some reason it feels like I'm playing on 1000 ping instead of 50, and I'm not the only one either, loads of people in the Lobby chat were complaining too. Was it just the lobby I joined, or are other AUS/NZ players getting this? Thanks
