I clicked on all the North American HTTP links on http://mirrors.opensuse.org/ trying to find which mirrors zypper should be able to find.
http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/mirrorsNA20170727map.jpg shows a typical best/preferred mirrors result from opening a .mirrorlist link.
for which parts/sections - distro, tumbleweed, repos, ports, isos etc?
I had about two dozen tabs open for about 64 hours that would have enabled answering. You waited more than 75 hours to reply.
Actually, I replied only minutes after reading your posting :-)
Lately all such results have an Atlantic Ocean between them and my FL location near Tampa, upwards of 6600km as the crow flies to the ENE. By contrast, Provo is less than 3000km away, and most other NA mirrors are closer, such as gatech.edu in Atlanta less than 450km distant.
My depressing findings are color coded on: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/osmirrors201707.html
most of what you have marked with yellow appears to be as expected - you see no tick in the "repositories" column, so they don't mirror repositories. (or cannot properly sync it).
Thus most packages from repositories and TW must traverse an ocean, as much as 3X distant as Leap OSS or Updates, to get to me.
That seems to be the case, yes. I guess NA mirrors are less inclined to mirror tumbleweed and repositories.
For e.g. http://opensuse.cs.utah.edu/opensuse/, it is a bad mirror config, there is no /opensuse, only /. See https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/20964
https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/20740 got "closed" quickly with no follow-up to my comment.
Two different issues, I would say. I am not up-to-date with the mirror db situation.
For the ones marked in red, mirrorbrain at least knows about it, no tick marks on the right. Some are poor DNS configs, e.g. mirrors[12].kernel.org.
I wasn't trying to suggest a lot more than that the active mirror selection for North America is rather limited, especially so for repositories.
