Connecting to incorrect region

As of this evening I noticed frequent high latency when connecting to servers. At first I wrote it off as my internet acting up until I inquired about the region. I am currently only able to connect to European servers while I should be connecting to US East. I do have “Americas” selected as my region. Is this a common issue right now?
