It's supposed to eventually time out because of their firewalls.

Note: Since our Battle.net servers are protected from unsolicited traffic and attacks, all the hops after you have reached our server may give you an error message such as 'Request Timed Out' or 'Destination Net Unreachable'.
I'm not pointing the finger at you and I'm not pointing the finger at Blizzard. What I'm saying is that a 1000 - 1500ms ping means that something is wrong with the connection between you two. If something was wrong with the datacenter then everyone would have this problem; but, we live in the year 2012 where high speed internet eliminates that (for the most part). The fact that people play from much further distances than you with a much lower latency than you indicates there is a problem somewhere between you and the server.
I'm happy that you're happy on your new server and that is all that matters.
