I can see we are connected to Western Europe, which is geographically closer to us in Denmark, but it suggests this is extremely poor and we could get a significant performance boost swapping to northern europe (Finland), which is further away. Is there any way for me to test what my latency would be to this service front door in northern europe?

Melmix This doesn't sound right. Can you run the tests a couple more times and see if your latency at the top gets lower? I've been seeing this "warm up" issue with a few people. Thanks for trying out the tool!

    I tried it multiple times now and each time the latency went lower... started at around 150ms and ended up around 25-35ms. It now says we have a good and sometimes excellent connection. However it still keeps saying that the datacenter in Finland would be better?

      Hi Melmix, thanks again for the testing. We've found and corrected a latency test error and you should see more consistent lower latencies now. Please take another look at http://aka.ms/netonboard.
