Most of all the services we are using are all centered in Belgium.

But if i’m not wrong i saw that i can make some tests that digital ocean has given us: http://speedtest-ams3.digitalocean.com/ for amsterdam 3d center http://speedtest-fra1.digitalocean.com/ for frankfurt center http://speedtest-lon1.digitalocean.com/ for london center

I’ve already done the tests and the best upload/download rate is at AMS3. FRA1 is slighty lower but LON1 is really lower. Should i only use this tests to make my decision ?

Thanks.

On a PC open your command prompt and ping each region and compare the “Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds” with each region and take the lowest MS possible.
