@lamp That is because internet routing is severely screwed, with it often being the case that for a packet to be routed across the street, it needs to be routed through another country.

Under 50ms RTT is deemed to be low latency, as that doesn't cause issues for the vast majority of protocols.

Still, if you want low latency, you should just self-host; icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.122 ms
