Transatlantic packet loss

I'm seeing some terrible transatlantic package loss when accessing European sites - for instance WoW is unplayable right now on EU servers.

From my EC2 server in Ireland I'm seeing this on a reverse MTR to my local IP:

95% packet loss on though level3. Doing a MTR to Blizzards servers in the EU yields same picture:

Again a massive package loss through ae-3-80.edge1.LosAngeles9.Level3.net

I'm in Santa Barbara, but it seems its the LA Level3 exchange that's the issue.

Please advise.
