Somehow I'm lost in understanding the idea of your proposal. How should a device, e.g. here a switch, throttling the bandwidth up and down bring any relief on your "ping" rates, in fact an effect on these unlucky asymmetrical speed rates, caused by lack of prioritization of the uplink packets - or stating it different poor design and awful implementation of the NAT router. Reminds me to discussions and and my proposals towards relief I made to big vendor of DSL...
Look, the problem with your poor ping (and I don't talk of ICMP Echo requests only, generally the uplink traffic of the basic Transmission Control Protocol = TCP) introduced almost 50 years ago, causing your Internet uplink to saturate so essential control can't flow in timely fashion, and you can't take advantage of the higher downlink speed - caused by those ISPs which are scared giving their customers sufficient uplink speeds, in the aim to stop their customers from providing Internet "services".
Tempted to state you try to put the cart in front of the horse.
