(1) Internal link between locations.
(2) Same ISPs at all locations.

The closer to the source, the faster the convergence.

Be sure to test.  I've had multiple links to one provider _within the
same datacenter_ where their iBGP-fu (or whatever they had) was lacking.
Bouncing one and only eBGP session to them triggered globally-visible
flapping. :-(
