Does that even make sense as being possible? It just sounds like it introduces at least one more connection in between you and the end user, thus increasing latency overall.

But the bandwidth really isn't the issue, its more about the actual time it takes for my packets to reach the destination and there isn't a need for high bandwidth. If the VPN routes through a different path then lets say "Comcast Internet" to the same server, it might be possible that the number of hops could be reduced depending on where the VPN Servers are hosted and which ISP they connect to. I'm guessing this is how these "gaming" vpn services work, like WTFast, etc.
