Anycast without proper scrubbing layers is worse than single-location with clean upstreams.
Seen 1.2Tbps attacks where "global" POPs blackholed prefixes and legitimate traffic got collateral-damaged. Better to have 2-3 well-peerered sites than 20 with congested IX swaps.
Scrubbing center in Ashburn with good transit beats "Singapore" that backhauls to LAX.

In US locations
My current setup:
Same specs in "Singapore" would be $55+ and probably routed through someone else's network half the time
Ping matters less when your iowait is 40% from oversold NVMe
