It's less of an issue over where you start, but more of how you get there.

The internet sort of gets routed like the mail--you can get sloughed off to another city just to deliver something right next door. But it's much worse, you can get routed off to another state or province just to connect to a server that is physically at the end of your street.

Try running a trace to one of the lobby servers... you may find you bounce around quite a bit--and each hope is a potential point of failure on the way both there and back:
