You could for instance traceroute your connection and time the time it takes for your packet to get to the server.

Also you might want to consult with your ISP, see if they have any connectivity issues on their end. Check with local social groups such as reddit to see if anyone else also complained and happen to be on the same ISP as you are etc.

I would personally only use VPN if my connection to the KC server is broken otherwise region cookie overrides any and all choices.
