latency is really high

Ping results for XXXX.playfabapi.com: { address: 'XXXX.playfabapi.com', port: 80, attempts: 10, avg: 220.85890999999998, max: 242.3601, min: 215.8341, results: [ { seq: 0, time: 242.3601 }, { seq: 1, time: 216.4109 }, { seq: 2, time: 220.1613 }, { seq: 3, time: 218.3664 }, { seq: 4, time: 215.8341 }, { seq: 5, time: 219.5708 }, { seq: 6, time: 220.1741 }, { seq: 7, time: 216.0455 }, { seq: 8, time: 219.9102 }, { seq: 9, time: 219.7557 } ] }

There are many factors that affect latency, including location from the playfab server and network conditions. Since the core PlayFab service operates from the west coast of the US, there will naturally be longer packet latency at further locations. The ISP (and regional network in general) is also a key part of this, as old infrastructure or governmental firewalls such as the Great Firewall can cause significant delays. You could use VPN in the clients or edge service for routing to reduce the latency.

I'm disappointed with the current latency issues and feel that I may need to explore other cloud providers to find a more suitable solution for my needs.
