A lot of people are under the misconception that because the background download is starting the patch is coming next week. Patch 3.0 HAS NOT hit the PTR yet, and here are some confirmed posts it will go there first, and this is just because of the large content of the patch. http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/9679402958-next-patch-background-downloader.html
