wouldn't 2ms be <400 miles of travel? Youd have to be pretty close to the datacenter to get 2ms of latency when the computer needs time to do calculations as well

400 miles is pretty Pretty close? That's more than the distance between Paris and Amsterdam but yes you are right. Encoding a video and decoding it introduces additional latency even on the same machine.

I'm an American so maybe it's different. 400 miles max, reduced by however long it takes for the computations, doesn't seem like a large distance for me. My VPN provider's closest datacenter is 200 miles from me
