So inside of EU/US you do use dedicated server providers ?
AWS is effectively (almost) a transit-only network. That has pros and cons. On the plus side, it should have decent connectivity anywhere. On the minus side, if (almost) any link at all on a network is congested, that will almost certainly congest AWS traffic too. They're relatively unlikely to have long-running issues. Also : they're REALLY expensive.
