The long answer is - maybe, depending on how congested your area is.

What tier you're on shouldn't really affect your pings unless you're using the connection a lot at the same time.
Gotta laugh! Kush's long answer is shorter than his short answer!

Whatever tier you're on, you're better off with a SH2 than the VMNG300. This is because the SH2 can bond 8 channels and so your chances of having higher throughput are greater because the VMNG300 can only bond 4 channels. There is a point at which congestion will cause that to make no difference.

Then you'd want to run the SH2 in modem mode but your router would need to be capable of >120 meg WAN-LAN throughput; you may have one of those already but I don't know.

Finally, going down to 60 meg is only worth doing if it's 60 meg you get now instead of 100 meg; and then provided that yur monthly charge goes down too.

I think that covers it.
