Trichomecookin matchmaking will ping data centers all over the world in order to see which ones have the lowest ping.
You can see which data center you're actually connecting to by following the steps in the guide below and sorting by 'Send B/sec'.

I did IP lookup on all these IP's and US Virginia is where I'm connecting to generally, as stated at the bottom of the discussion above, these are the only us connections in the list and one of them is the highest b/sec meaning active server I'm playing on.
Im going to figure out where the games at or around 60lat are today just to resolve curiosity. (Likely US West as the distance to server would be doubled from my location.)
I will verify trace route of highest b/sec connection today as this has not been done yet.
More soon.

Individual pings gain no reply from servers due to what I assume is no active client id associated with the ip origination. This is expected due to a "do not reply to pings" setting server side. ISP routing table is not the issue here unless you can prove to me via unaltered screenshot that you receive a ping from any of the above mentioned server IP's via CMD..
60ms connections are US west servers, there are no central servers. In a country that is 2500 miles wide I find that fascinating. Only people that live within spitting distance of the servers are having a good consistent experience on this game on RedSec.
MP generally plays fine....
