Anyone having issues logging into WoW?

As title really, I'm getting stuck at the Authenticating message...

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing problems?

I can't log in either.

Typical, first time I want to play it in about a week and a half and I can't!

It seems as though the world server is down and no one can log in. I only ever play WoW once or twice a week to do my weekly arena matches so I really should cancel my subscription

I've only just started playing about a week or two ago.

How'd you know the world server is down?

I checked the official WoW general forum

Edit: Beware when browsing the forums, the complete idiocy of the majority of the posters there might destroy a lot of your brain cells.

Unfortunately it appears a couple of ISPs are having a bit of a barny and screwing things up royally for us sat at home:

I don't think it has anything to do with that because I was able to log in perfectly fine yesterday.
