It's not at network level, it's probably at service level. Service takes too long to respond (overloaded, not enough bandwidth, real-time replication, deadlocks - you guess it). I don't know how widespread is the problem, but I'm on a major provider and connection to everything else is very fine.
The ping is fine BTW - 50ms for widgets.digg, 200ms for digg. Which just helps to prove that it's a service problem.
