Best OVH location for Norway?

Wicked

What would be the best OVH location to Norway (west coast) for video streaming? I've always used France but now I have the option to choose Germany, Poland and UK.

Spin up a Cloud VM with hourly payment in each location and run some speed tests.

ping rbx.proof.ovh.net (France)
ping gra.proof.ovh.net (France)
ping sbg.proof.ovh.net (France)
ping eri.proof.ovh.net (UK)
Germany (no link)
Warsaw (no link)

Personally I'd say Germany would likely be best for Norway.

You can try the speedtest app in https://proof.ovh.net/ and change location.
