It is because the problem is (most likely) along the route between your home and SEs servers there, if it is, as is suggested earlier, a level3 problem, it's like
(Your Computer) - (Your Home Network) - (Your ISP) - (lots of connecting ISPs between here and there) - oXo Level3 Problems oXo - (Probably More ISPs) - (SEs ISP) - (SEs NA Datacenter).
The different datacenters are in different physical locations, so when you log into the EU data centre and JP datacentre your data takes different routes. They probably refer to backbones and stops along the way as ISPs as well.

SEs abilty to route traffic on short notice is probably pretty limited outside of their own infrastructure.
