I assume due to our location that the server is probably in the Seattle area but I'm not 100% sure where it actually is.
Wherever the server is located we all average high 20s to low 40s ping-wise, mine stays pretty steady 30-34 ping.
But we have tried playing on East Coast servers and as a group our pings jumped to the 120s-140s so it's not like it's just one of us with a bad connection it happens to all of us and while we are geographically in roughly the same area (PNW as I said) we all live in different towns..
Below is an Internet fiber backbone map showing the West Coast is geologically isolated from central and eastern NA . Central and Eastern players are much closer together and thus connect with lower latencies than Central and West Coast players. So it gets tricky if East and West Coast are playing on the same server...best if those servers are located in Central NA to keep ALAT lower...
