I am not sure there is any significant difference (let's say between Dallas and Atlanta), but if somebody has experience with using Linode DCs in Brazil and Peru (or somewhere else in SA) - which DC is better?

BTW, Linode - how about a DC in SA? It would save us a lot of trouble looking for another hosting provider, once we come to optimizing access times...

You can try downloading the files here https://www.linode.com/speedtest/ and see which one is the fastest. I've been using a node in Dallas for years now (I'm in the UK), and can't complain about speed and reliability.
