Does VPN help twitch streaming despite of long distances?

Currently, I'm in the verge of getting a VPN for my internet. I'm in SE asia right now and i watch NA streamers daily. 

 

My connection is 10mbps down and 1 mbps up but because of the long distance and high ping, i can't watch the streams in source quality (2-3 mbps bitrate)

 

Would VPN solve or at least help these kinds of problem or is it just a natural thing caused by the distance?

A VPN would make it worse

VPNs usually slow down your speed, because first it has to direct the traffic to where the VPN says you are, THEN it has to send it to where you ACTUALLY are.

@xtroria nope you'd most likely have even more delay

 

You'll always be limited by your main line.

At best the VPN would offer no noticeable performance impact, but shouldn't offer any performance gains

@Askew it doesn't work that way

The only time I think a VPN might help you increase speed is if your ISP was throttling you on certain sites (twitch in this case). Otherwise it would be the same or worse than your regular connection.

There are a couple of VPN providers that claim to improve your pings to a certain extent and their network is designed keeping professional gamers in mind. I remember WTFast and GPN were both claiming this. PureVPN also had something similar. 

 

Maybe, you can try them out?

 

Even though I doubt that improving the ping would have that much impact on stream quality.
