SEEMS like:
Server “pair” 2 + 7 (91247 : 73195) is MOST LIKELY in NORTH America; [ed] Am.East[/ed]
Server “pair” 3+10 (11986 : 60206) is MOST LIKELY in SOUTH America;
Server “pair” 6 + 9 (88014 : 55197) is MOST LIKELY in the Antipodeans (Oz/NZ); [ed]APac[/ed]
[ed] ( Asia Pacific = from Japan up N to Oz/NZ down S… ) [/ed]
Server 1 (31422) is FASTEST in Oz; [ed] Should’ve been UK → EMEA [/ed]
Server 5 (85671) is FASTEST in UK; [ed] → EMEA [ed]
“Pairing” #1s UP::#5s Dn AND #1s Dn::#5s UP
== 120/118mbps for UK, but only 98/98 mbps for Oz…
… so we MIGHT conclude that Server “pair” 1 + 5 (31422 : 85671) == UK-based…
(Conveniently, doesn’t “double-up” Oz, nor “leave out” UK/Europe…)
Given 25+ (NOT 50+!) mbps UPload & 50+ mbps DOWNload & Ping<10:
Server 4 (67240) has best data throughput in S.Am (followed by N.Am)
… but best PING time (nearest location?!?) suggests Oz.
Combined, one might say “Southern Hemisphere / inconclusive” location.
Server 8 (40144) is similar, but S.Am & Oz are close on data throughput
… but PINGs are crap for S.Hemi, better for N.Hemi, but NOT “BEST” anywhere.
+++++++++ [ed] My Finest Hour - LOL [/ed]
SUGGEST #8 (40144) is NOT TERRESTRIAL, but possibly ORBITAL
… over the N.Hemi (lower ping) but “POINTING” into S.Hemi (data speeds).
This would corroborate a “pairing” w/ #4 if located in the S.Hemi.
Or, otherwise, “Compromised” as you were asking for, @DevilinPixy.

Credits go to...
@Espilonarge (another Chris!) – for the original “gridded data image” I used
@SingularGleam - (possibly-)PAIRED Servers by datasets’ inclusive numbers
… and for summarising Up/Dn/Ping times, Per Server (Pair), for 4 world regions
… and for the later “byte count” figures per server’s FetchData
@iBood17 – for the link to GoogleDoc’s diagnostic data spreadsheet
@Tezu – for “confirming” what seems to be “only” 4 World Regions
** I’d like to suggest “UK” or “Europe” be renamed “EMEA”
((Europe, Middle East, & [edit]Africa[/edit] … How does it include India, then??))
[Edit] if Japan is returning the same speed data as Oz/NZ, then… Timezones?[/edit]
@LilLadyD76 – for a visual “pairing” image, incl Server #s AND datasets
Seems we still need to be CAREFUL about possible US Time Zone differentials; this could help us PINPOINT the (fastest) Americas-based Servers… potentially.
