Eureka Connection Question

Has anyone noticed a MUCH smoother connection when in Eureka servers compared to other Duty Finder related content? I know it's probably due to the much smaller, reserved instances that aren't allowed to really overfill but I've never had more fun being able to really feel like I'm playing my class at 110% because I'm not being beaten in the face by the lag monster.

I've considered going back to trying ping services, but when I ping the servers I'm running sub 100ms which definitely shouldn't feel as bad as it actually does. Has anyone had any luck/experience using those?
