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 think they're way more cables connecting Western US to Asia. Then Europe to Asia via Russia and Central Asia.
