    Hi Mist

     

    What I would do is have a look where your Power BI Tenant is by clicking on the ? as shown below.

     

     

    And then it will show you where your data is stored. As shown below mine is in Australia SouthEast

     

    I would then create an Azure VM in Australia South East.


    This will ensure that it is as close as possible. 

    When I have used Azure VM's the bandwidth is SUPER fast.
