I can’t say much about Azure as my services are on AWS right now.

However, annecdotally Microsoft seems to have wisely invested in their Cheyenne WY data center. Rural areas of Rockies getting excellent pings / bandwidth.

I was really surprised to see Wyoming pings under 30ms from a normal cable connection. For reference I’ve never seen under 75ms to anything previous to that.

Makes a lot of sense for multiplayer quality.
