City for hosting

Hello, can you please tell me which city in the US to place your bot in to minimize the delay to the Twitch IRC-server. I want the bot to receive and respond to users’ messages as quickly as possible. Right now I bought hosting where the hosting is in Dallas, Texas and using the client.ping() method I get about 60ms. My priority is to get the lowest latency to the Twitch IRC-server, and then to the API. Is it possible to reduce this value by placing the bot in another city in the US?

It is more important which carrier your hosting provider is peering with than in which city the datacenter is. That’s all I can help you with.
