Sub-optimal server selection?

After weeks and weeks of having connection problems (I've made it all the way through exactly *one* multiplayer match since early April) I finally did a bit of TCP/IP sleuthing on my system.

What I noticed was that, while I am in the eastern US, the game attempts to make connections to servers all over the world, with the attendant lag involved.  For example, just now when I went into Multiplayer and tried to find a match, the game tried connecting to servers in Russia and Switzerland. 

I suspect this might play no small part in the connection problems I've experienced... but I'll be damned if I can figure out what to do about it.  Are there not enough servers in North America?

Hosts and other players network. And it is UDP instead of TCP, so there are other issues (not that TCP would ever work for something like this) the software does not seem to handle well. I'm guessing the network setup saves EA/BW on their own network traffic.
