Note 1: xenoob.tk showed a 20% packet loss from Argentina, so reliability could be an issue for those from South America, including Brazil - in this case, the next best server might be best to use for now. It also showed very big ping ranges of 281.8 to 631.7.

Note 2: Some of the above are region-based, please note, I used an automated site to ping all these countries required, for some regions they did not have every country (thus, only the main countries listed were pinged).

Note 3: These pings were to good servers with fibre connection, i.e. your mileage may vary.
