depends on your definition of reliability. I'd expect change tier wouldn't involve any physical changes and so if your connection is solid (as in there is some form of a connection) i'd expect that to be the same for any tier.

If you define reliability as the speed too, then getting 2mb 24/7 of the day would mean you'd see between 2 and 4mb on the 4mb service but it shouldn't get slower. Similarly, if you see 4mb 24/7 on the 4mb service, you shouldn't go slower by upgrading to 20mb. That's how i'd expect it to be.

I'd also expect if you never got over 3mb on a 4mb service, you'd still only get 3mb on the 20mb service.
