Servers and connection reliability

[AusQB 2]

Now I know there are/have been many server-related issues, but I was just wondering if or how different servers provide more stable connections. If I choose a server closer to my region, i.e., Oceania, will I have a better experience than if I choose one on the other side of the world? I live in Australia, but I just decided to leave the server on Pacific 1 (is this the default for everyone?) for the time being. However, I've experienced many issues such as cities not processing properly, sometimes while playing, and the game disconnecting from the server after an extended period of being minimized.

 

Are these the same issues everyone has to deal with, or would choosing a closer server help alleviate some of the stress?

The names of the servers are only flavor. You didnt think there was a server on Antarctica right

Well obviously, but admittedly I didn't remember that server when making the thread.

Europe West 6 has proven pretty much solid, the whole last month I play.

I just got disconnected from my game...I resumed it only to find out it was rollbacked by 15 minutes
