The data is really useful, and the globe is visually impressive, but it feels like it'd be more practically useful to have a flat world map that shows all the data centers at once and makes it easier to read the lines without them getting excessively close to each other.

Ah, this was what I tried first, and it didn't do anything, but now it does seem to be doing something. That makes sense now, thanks.
Random fact: I did some planning around this for a client a while ago. While measuring the AWS latencies I found I could get approximate latencies (within 10%) by measuring the rough undersea cable length (km) and dividing by 150. While not overly surprising, it was very consistent. Edit: I think it was actually 155
That reminds me of the story of the 500 mile email ( https://www.ibiblio.org/harris/500milemail.html )
EDIT: mostly, probably, sort of.
I found myself going to CloudPing often enough to make a CLI for it
Just curious, why is there no us central or us texas region? It could maybe be useful.
I have red-green color blindness, which makes it hard/impossible for me to distinguish between the 200ms lines. This affects about 8% of male population btw, maybe you can add a color-blind mode, very nice visualization otherwise!

I started putting myself in the shoes of a family member who is in the 8% and now i spend more time trying to pick better color schemes

Its a bit sad, we have one of the Swedish, actual physical buildings for AWS in my town. But of course the traffic does not exit here, but is instead aggregated between the different sites spread around cities regionally. So no sub-ms latencies for me towards that center. I think the traffic basically went a couple hundred kms before turning back here.
