Will a proxy closer to Neopets location be faster than one further away? This one I'm using is apparently faster when I test it but is providing slower buy times, the difference is this one is in the Uk and the other one (apparently slower) was in the USA.

Okay fair enough, my point was that getting a closer proxy isn't going to be as detrimental on their speed, presumably for buy times, as connection speed, bandwidth, ect, is going to pose.

No, certainly not, but server proximity shouldn't be brushed off as inconsequential. A worst-case scenario could involve every request shaking hands many more times than is necessary. It's entirely circumstantial, but using a well-placed proxy /can/ improve speed significantly.
