I’ve read a few (dated) posts about bandwidth costs being extreme in Australia and Cloudflare would route around it, causing higher latency in that region.

Is that still the case though?

Yes, this is still true in 2021 (why I switched) and even true that you will not always receive the closest PoP even in bandwidth-cheap countries.

For example from Sweden I was usually routed via Denmark. I was Pro user, more PoPs are available to Business or Enterprise customers however.
