I averaged the geographic location of the probe servers, and your server will definitely get lower results. My server is 900 miles further from the "ideal" point than yours, which accounts for some 10ms-30ms due to Pingdom's server locations.
It's not a valid test if you obtain results in an environment stacked in your favor.
I'd say its more to do with putting time into researching the best location, not just picking the cheapest provider you come across. There's no denying it, NYC is the best location without any doubt. There's also no arguing the pingdom stability charts, they speak volumes.
Note to clients: over the next couple of days please ensure you use nothing but the support ticket system if you need help. Thanks.
