Not true, the lower the congestion and hops from point to point, the lower the ping - and the physical distance to the server.
Hence if you ping your router it will be nr. 0 , if you ping another PC connected to your router it will be say 2ms, and as you venture further away it will increase.
A higher speed will help only in that the packet will not get stuck behind others trying to get to your machine, but realistically most gamers are not P2Ping or running windows update at the same time, thus this is not an issue.
