I was hoping at least central U.S. But eh, whatever I guess. Good bye ping.

I'll reply to this post, but the same reply could go to so many others.

Ping and tracert latency doesn't depend on physical location as much as you think. There is a raw distance component to transmission time of course, but what matters more is the number of hops that your packets take to get to and from the server. Fewer hops equal lower latency and lag. Fewer hops equates to better ping times and better tracert. We need to wait until the servers are completely operational and the routing for the new data center location propagated throughout the DNS server hierarchy. It will be far more revealing to run pings and tracert about 2 weeks from now when the servers have been up for a while.
