I'm based in the Middle East and was really looking forward to this since announcement we use the Singapore region and currently get 105ms pings to our instances. Yet, how come I get 135ms pings to Mumbai despite it being MUCH closer (~1930km vs 5840km to Singapore) ?

Lol. I am in South India, and when gaming, i frequently get better ping to Singapore than other parts of India; Also performance varies widely depending on my ip and the time of the day. The routing in local isps is atrocious. I thought the situation would be different for commercial connections but your experience seems to suggest otherwise.

Run traceroute and see where it's going.

Doesn't look good at Mumbai:

What is your src IP? Both 52.95.67.208 and 203.83.223.31 are less than 80ms for me from Mumbai.
