Being on 20 meg, if you have the older cable modem, you can't get two upstream channels. So you can report your modem as damaged (you'll need to turn internet off for a few days) and you'll get a SuperHub - or you can upgrade to 30 meg. The speed upgrade itself will do nothing.
Hope thathelps. BTW, if your area is hopelessly congested, it may not work out.

I think we need to also add that with Infinity if the connection has had a high level of interleaving applied to it the ping will be higher (I seem to recall your Infinity connection has a massive minimum latency Seph) Since I have moved from VM to BT Infinity ping has been nothing but stable and extremely lower than my VM connection because I have no interleaving applied.
Oh and lag... sorry what is lag? not seen that since the move
