Location could be a factor, although it just depends on the situation... With SAMP having players from all around the world, its hard to say if there is a better location for all players, although obviously the closer to your house, the better. Although, if its a state away, but running 100 mbps connections, and you can get one 2 states away running 1 gbps, then its obvious the choice.
Now that I have said that, another thing popped into my mind... Internet uplink speed. Just because a server is on a 100 mbps network, its uplink isn’t even close to it. Generally for residential areas, they are below 2 mbps. So if the server with 100 mbps network has a faster uplink than the 1 gbps, then obviously the 100 mbps would be better.
You just need to research and ask questions from the hosting provider before you make any uninformed decisions.
