Good point about the MPLS.

I was using https://www.geolocation.com/ to do the geolocation and it claims 
Warsaw but that - in hindsight - is wrong. So "us-was" is likely to be 
Washington as per the name and is also the device "taking the blame" for the 
entirety of the MPLS latency. Since that will include the transatlantic time 
the extra 75ms isn't quite so bad as it looks.
