I have a droplet I use for various small websites and I was curious to know, what’s the best region for download/upload speeds?
I often see AMS1 having capacity issues, or at least some choices of droplet size being faded out, and assumed it’s because people like AMS1 that much.
At the moment, my current droplet is in LON1, and the speeds are okay but I wanted to know what region most of DO’s customers prefer?
