Nairobi. 180ms to Europe, 280ms to US East. Auction servers make no sense here because the latency kills everything interactive.

We use AWS Cape Town or Vultr Johannesburg — https://www.vultr.com/pricing/ is what I check when I need another instance. 45ms to JHB, still not great but usable. Bare me...
