I have 50/50 Verizon FIOS in Washington, DC. This should not have any lag issues. However, without paying for a tunneling service, I get in-game lag every single day during primetime.
If you read and understood the various discussions on the reddit you would know the location of the servers is not the issue. The "pipeline" to the servers is the issue and that is something that SE has no direct control of nor should they be responsible for ponying up the funds to "fix" it by moving the servers to a better maintained "pipeline".
