I know this has mostly been a result of my own stupidity but the company I was using for serverrs didn't have any presence in Asia and the burger servers were generally fine
But I didn't think that there would be so much difference in latency using Europoor servers vs Burger servers

I used to operate a cruise from USA to Singapore where passengers would pay me at the end of the trip
Some passengers drown but it’s negligible
I start to operate a cruise from Europoor to Singapore where passengers would pay me at the end of the trip
The cruise ship is old and travels at half the speed
50% of passengers kill themselves out of boredom by drowning
I only get 50% of the revenue now

Sounds like you should psychomaxx and kill off the passengers and take their stuff and sell it?

What is your product such that 200ms latency causes half your requests to sewer slide?

secret but obviously something shitty if an extra 200ms drops the connection

Very curious if the actual traffic constitutes a large portion of your bill relative to the cpu/mem allocation for your server
