Where are the request servers hosted? What's the peering like for those hosts?

I feel like people also often forget that bad peering by ISP can have a big influence on the overall latency.

Yep, this is the reason why I'm hesitant to switch ISPs despite crappy service during peak hours. They have PNIs/local CDN hostings/prominent IX peering and good international peering.
