Hi Torix,
Thank you for your ideas, I have made note of this and will review this list early next week.
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

My first thought is that I should run a relay in India, which has a robust internet, and speaks English. However, I don't know whom to contact over there to set something up. I was wondering if it might be worth producing a list of ISPs and urls in preferred geographically distributed countries.
