Sounds more like you may have ended up playing with far out of region players instead of just your next door Europeans?
From checking on players' latencies, I often come across high performance discrepancy across players even in the same geographic location. So that as single parameters is not really valid to distinct between great game performance or not. Aka one guy in London connects to my 'European based server' (Rotterdam NL) with a fine latency of 19 milli seconds. While another Londoner may connect with a troublesome 237 milliseconds. All while a fellow in Glasgow connects with 23 milli seconds. And a New Yorker connects with 81 milli seconds. Even with a UK based server, you would still have trouble in the game with that high latency player living next door.
The server's location and connectivity is important of course. But most frequently it is the first kilometers of each individual player's connectivity that decides if the gameplay is fluid or not with such players. (actually most often, it is the first few meters of connectivity in the player's own home :o)
But all agreed of of course, that the lower the latency across all for both servers and players, the better the game experience.
