I am using a AMD Phenom II X ^ Windows 7 PC. Wireless card is ASUS USB-N53 Black Diamond Dual Band (2.4GHz 300Mbps/5GHz 300Mbps). Wireless Router is
BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N300 Gigabit Wireless Router - WZR-HP-G300NH2

My data plan is Shaw High Speed 20 (With a speed of 20 Mbps)

Speedtest is : Download speed is 19.36 Mbps and Upload speed is 0.49 Mbps

If I want to increase my download speed :

Should I change my wireless USB Stick to USB 3.0 with Wireless N ??

Should I upgrade my wireless router to ASUS RT-N66U Dual Band Wireless N900 Ultra Thin Gigabit Router 2.4/5GHZ ??

Should I upgrade my plan to Broadband 50 with Shaw ??

Please kindly advise ASAP.

Umm I think first thing is for you to post your speedtest result.

If your on the 20Mpbs plan, your getting almost 100%..
If you want faster, you need a plan that gives you faster speed.

But there are things that can factor in with speeds your getting... Does the website/host have bandwidth cap, other devices interfering with the connection??

Both your wireless card and router has a max wireless transfer rate of 300Mpbs, which should be more then enough to suffice.

HS20 and you getting 19.xx is really good
FYI acceptable range is 15-20Mbps
BB50 is totally worth it
