Poland: (100 retries)
Finland -> Minimum = 49ms, Maximum = 107ms, Average = 53ms
Germany -> Minimum = 48ms, Maximum = 94ms, Average = 51ms

I would go all in Germany hosting.

That's really weird, packets to Germany should only need to pass through France, while Finland is basically on the other side of Europe.

Maybe France/German route was congested during test, and there's some sort of data highway from Spain to Finland (possibly through some undersea cables that bypass Central Europe?)

Ye I live in spain and i get like 35-45 to germany, and around 40-60 to finland, must've been some congestion through france.

Finland -> Germany 41ms
Finland -> Finland 12ms

The choice is obvious

[Manicapanda]

As an Aussie, Germany is consistently much better.

Australia to Germany at 310ms

vs

Australia to Finland at 340ms

It can be pretty bad sometimes as is so if server is currently in Germany it would definitely be better keeping it there for myself and other Oceanic players. Happy to drop logs if required.
