I just did some very rough & quick testing of latency using VPS providers from Bombay. Latency I checked with ping average 15 responses. Throughput I downloaded a 100mb file and took average download speed rounded down in 25 mb increments (because it felt very volatile). Here are the quick results:

No big surprises, but I couldn’t find another source anywhere else. Obviously not a rigorous test methodology, but at least it gives some general feedback.
