On an OpenBSD box that is hardwired:

Orange County, Spectrum cable. I used to get sub-10ms to us-east when I lived in Fairfax County, VA.

AWS East is in Ashburn, VA, just up Route 28 -- a stones throw from Dulles Airport. Not sure if they're still in the Dupont Fabros buildings or the Equinix campus.

Only four of the data centers that make up us-east-1 are in Ashburn, most are in the surrounding area (Sterling, South Riding, Chantilly, Manassas).

If interested, I listed them all out a while back here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20876909
