I imagine a lot is just how close you physically are to a lot of the major switches of the entire Internets. I don't know exactly how the backbones route these days, but the whole schmear pretty much grew up around Vienna, and all of NoVA. It used to be that to get a packet from Philly to Pittsburgh you had to go through NoVA.
