2 EVDO modems for better gaming?

I just got the Cradlepoint MBR 1000 router, which is capable of load balancing. I was wondering if using two USB modems (with two mobile broadband service, of course), will that improve my gaming experience? Or does it really not matter due to the latency (which is around 140ms right now). I am thinking of trying it out, but just wondering if any have done this before.

Don't know about EVDO, but with Cable, DSL through a router it will do load balancing, but depending on the configuration settings it will more than likely default to a Round Robin configuration. Basically it will swap back and forth. Probably couldn't hurt though.

if you have multiple clients on the network, yes (xbox, computer, laptop, VoIP) as one will use one modem, the other client the other in the round robin process, the connection isn't bonded though(making one big pipe).
