Better connection speed to JP Server than EU one from UK???

[AlexiaKidd]

As I was in the login screen today I just noticed that my connection only says "Good" for my server which is supposed to be an EU server along with all other servers in the NA/EU server list, yet when I scroll over and check the JP servers my connection changes to "Excellent"?

It is my understanding that the scale goes something like "Good", "Very Good" and "Excellent" so how can I possibly have the lowest grade being an EU player connecting to a EU world? Being based in the UK I find this rather disheartening as I thought the EA/NA servers were supposed to make things better for us and yet it seems I would be better off as a EU player moving to a JP server than actually playing on a EU labelled server.

Is this something SE plans to rectify at some point or are they just not bothered? Also before anyone jumps down my neck and tells me to get a better broadband connection I have Virgin Media's 120mb connection which is pretty much the fastest you can get in the UK so I know it's not that.

SE thought the EU didn't need a data centre in the EU so instead the EU servers are based in Canada with the NA ones.
