Your speeds seem very slow.

Is this the initial handshake which understandably introduces latency?

After that, times should be similar. What could be killing users far away is requiring multiple handshakes because multiple things requiring handshakes are being introduced at the same time.

For reference, I'm physically located in China so requests have to go through a bunch of filtering-oriented routers, and get 150-180ms from US, 200ms Japan and 180ms Singapore (yay geography) and around 200-250ms from Europe - this is SSL requests and not from a connections hub like Shanghai or Shenzhen close to domestic exit-points. Double to triple these times for first handshake.
