PoE 1 GeForce NOW(AU-East) PoE's Australia server same ping as singapore server (routing issue?)

BUG REPORT REFERENCE NO. 623,090,221

I am playing PoE 1 on GeForce NOW (GFN) like i have for the last 2 or so years. I use the AU-East GFN server, and play the game on the PoE Australia server. Usually between the Rig and the Game server there is about 1ms ping.

For the last month, the Australia server has displayed the same ping as the singapore server (101ms). I thought it was just a visual issue but in game sometimes i have 90-110ms between the rig and the instance - The weird part is that it's not in every area, only about half of them.

Sometimes my hideout will have 0-1ms, sometimes it will have 94ms.
Every 2-3 maps i will join a map instance where i have 90+ms instead of the usual 0-1ms.
It's really weird and makes for a very frustrating experience.

Additionally, when another player joins my "bugged" 94ms ping instance, they do not experience any change in latency and have the same ping they usually have.

To solve this i've been playing on the Auckland server which the rig has 32ms to, but i imagine it will be a big problem when 3.26 drops and the issue is more widespread so here's my bug report.

I'm not sure if it's a routing issue or node issue or something but i'm not really qualified enough to say for sure what it could be and why it only happens on GeForce NOW.
