Different geo locations for proxies

I’m wondering if there is the way to create proxy to be closer to EU/APAC?

I tried to make requests to proxies and got response time about 150ms, but for requests from EU for the same endpoints request time is about 350-500 ms.

so the only way is to contact associate?
