Though odd, no doubt, it was almost assuredly nothing more than an ironic coincidence. Token data is only used when you've exhausted your plan data. So even if you buy one, it won't be touched unless and until your plan data is exhausted.
Your speed issues were very likely due to congestion in the system, and what probably happened is that the load on the system lightened up a bit right around the time you purchased the data token. It's also possible that your modem automatically changed your beam channel, which they can do. This is one of the reasons why power cycling or rebooting the modem can sometimes help to improve service speed, as it has a tendency to change to a "cleaner" channel. Cleaner at the time, that is, as the load levels on those channels dynamically change, so the speed improvement can vary over time.
