How to read these figures

Under 10 ms (London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam): excellent for Expert Advisors and manual trading, suitable for most strategies.
Around 80 to 90 ms (New York, Chicago): fine for a robot trading on timeframes of a few minutes or more, less suited to very short scalping.
Over 150 ms (Asia, South Africa, South America): choose a server close to your broker if your strategy is sensitive to delay.
To find where your broker's server is, check the latency shown at the bottom right of MetaTrader once it is connected on the VPS.

How these figures are measured

From a server in our Paris network, we send 20 pings to a public measurement point in each city and record the minimum, average and maximum round-trip time. These points are not the brokers' servers themselves: the real latency to your broker depends on the exact location of its server, but stays in the same range as its city. Measurements go through our Anti-DDoS protection, like our customers' traffic.
