I’m assuming bloopernova is based in Europe, so latency should be fine. At least they asked for an European-based Hoster (although that could also theoretically be for privacy reasons).

you should still be able to saturate your bandwidth with poor latency

Not unless the protocol you use accounts for that. Smb for instance is tragic.

True, I was thinking of backup tools which tend to consider poor latency in their design.

Good to know, thank you!
