That's not a problem -- to check your ping to each location, you can use this page: https://www.nfoservers.com/networklocations.php, which also has some sample servers shown. More sample servers are shown here: https://www.nfoservers.com/order.php

Latency can affect the feel of gameplay quite a bit. If you're used to a lower ping, you should test out the higher one before you purchase to make sure you like the feel of it.

We should generally offer the lowest overall pings for players in the city you are looking at. If you see that your personal ping is a bit higher than other servers in the same city, please let us know by sending in your IP and a tracert, so that we can potentially reroute you.

The internet doesn't know the difference between countries and often InterNAP can shunt traffic to clients in other parts of the world :)
