It's the East Coast (USA) right now that has trouble. I'm lucky to know a UK player (KylieDog) so I can sneak into the UK ones. It's ironic that the foreign server is lag free for me >.<
It's also just sad, how such a absolutely great game got ruined in so many stupid ways. Many games have what I call "core" issues, stuff that can't be changed easily, or if changed, will change the game entirely.
Bad Company's 2 problems are:
1) Lag
2) Lack of player control (allowing to choose servers, kick people, customize rules, etc. Basiicly a KZ2 like system)
3) Extremely high damage (Magnum ammo)
4) Shitty MW2 players
The beta was the funnest time I had with this game. I believe it was because:
1) No lag
2) N/A
3) I don't remember magnum ammo. Damage was perfect.
4) The only players on were the ones who actually wanted to play the game (having to shell out a pre-order)
In short, CONSOLES SUCK BALLS. In short, GAMERS SUCK BALLS. It's not just EA's fault. It's OUR fault. It's our fucking obsession with K/D ratios. It's our fucking inability to cooperate and fucking communicate. Jesus fucking christ, I'm really losing faith in gaming, and if inFamous 2 turns out to be a dissapointment... it's over.
