Hi, I agree with Nick. I mentioned this before myself in the IRC channel for the pool, but I guess it was missed.
There is certainly some unnecessary confusion with having two pools for the same physical region, I was looking trough them, there is quite a big difference in available servers in those two pools. (6 vs 275) If traffic picks up on the “gb” zone, for whatever reason, be it mistake in choosing the zone, etc, that won’t be very good for the received performance, considering just 6 servers are serving that entire pool.
