I feel your pain! I was in the same boat until I switched to Bright Data (used to be Luminati). Their us proxy speeds are solid, especially for streaming.
Location *does* matter—picking a server closer to you cuts down latency. But even their East Coast nodes worked fine for me on the West Coast.
Just avoid their "residential" proxies if you're on a budget. The datacenter ones are cheaper and still fast.
