How did you choose which datacenters to include? For example, eu-south-2 (Spain) is missing. The reason I know is because I worked on a project that required latency to be under 30ms between datacenters, and we had to use eu-west-1 (Ireland) and eu-south-2. Turns out that latency is closer to 42ms, mainly because there are no undersea cables between Ireland and the continent (they only go to England, then they have to route across England to get to a cable to the content).

Author here - I just used what was available on https://www.cloudping.co https://www.cloudping.co, which is certainly missing a few. The CloudPing GitHub repo has not had a code change in 4 years. Maybe a few new regions have popped up since it was last actively worked on.

How do you know there aren't any cables between Ireland and the main European continent? I'm genuinely curious where this is published.

  You can search google for [undersea cable map] but this one is the best: https://www.submarinecablemap.com https://www.submarinecablemap.com This will show you everything connected to Ireland: https://www.submarinecablemap.com/country/ireland https://www.submarinecablemap.com/country/ireland

    There’ll be one to France as of 2026 (as part of this project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Interconnector https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Interconnector)
