Hi David
This is strange, i am based in South Africa. Also our region we built the test WVD is in South Africa North.
When i look at the Experience Estimator, it shows both South Africa regions as some of the worst.
How could this be?
Kind Regards

desk22 I don't know enough about the back end of it but I believe it's based on Azure Traffic Manager, see documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/traffic-manager/traffic-manager-how-it-works
I'm based near the North Europe datacenter and until recently West Europe was showing as the lowest latency for me but now North EU is showing as lowest as I would expect. I haven't changed my DNS so I assume either my DNS provider has made a change or Microsoft have made some change.
