From Egypt, your ping is pretty much average to the States here. DSL optimization is a joke. You can "Optimize" MTU settings and whatnot, but it rarely means anything.

I don't think there's any software that can help you with that. Sounds like your ISP has a crappy pipe. Do you have other options for ISP?

No, you can't uncap DSL. That's capped at the server's end.

Actually, you can cable modems and I think some DSL modems.
It is quite difficult, and illegal, but can be done. It involves snooping the bridged connection between your modem and isp tftp server.

I wouldn't mess with anything in your modem if you don't want to get caught

MTU tweaking got my speed from 465/202 to 515/267Kbps, only 1 extra KB realistically though.
