What about hosting? More upload will let you have more players on the connection, not improve pings for those there unless your upload is maxed out.

And no data doesn't 'slow down' as it travels to the US it just has further to travel and a faster upload won't make the data go faster. Reread what I said. More bandwidth does not mean you can break the speed of light. A wider pipe does not make the data flow quicker it just means you can send more data at the same time.
