If your pint is too high, maybe you should try a pot or a schooner But naw, I've tried a couple of programs and they don't work. So my advice is don't waste your time. |

1. Use a wired connection
2. If still not good enough, change ISP. Alternatively, play on relatively-close servers, |

First thing go off wireliess.
Upgrade your current plan or move to a better ISP
There isn't a way to speed up your connection with a programm ( as far as i know ) All comes into factor how close you are to an Exchance (Central Office ) I.E Distance
What is your current plan speed ? |

That sort of idea is called 'prioritization', where you want to prioritize one type of data (ie. game traffic) over another one (ie. your downloads)
What router do you have? |

You'll need QoS. The almighty Linux based Tomato would be the best choice, provided you learn how to set the classifications and whatnot. I had used DD-WRT due to its wide support of hardware and my ver.6 WRT54G. I have since gotten a WRT54GL and flashed Tomato due to its stability and working QoS, two things DD-WRT doesn't have. I can seed full speed and have stable pings for gameplay using Tomato. |

I use a crappy Netgear G wireless card and still manage
But when I build my new machine, maybe that's when I will be able to go wired.
It's not my house really, so I can't run a 100 ft. cable without permission atm. |

Yep, I dropped 10-20ms by going from 256k to 1.5m. 256k was wired, but wireless atm with 1.5m. |

What that i don't believe you, you should get more than 256k as i knew when asdl first came out it could reach atleast 1.5 megs..that was b4 2000! mabye distance is your factor
In the Exchange its not hard to upgrade equipment well what i mean they don't have to upgrade everything just the "Broadband equipment" as i know some exchanges here are 1969 ( if u mean by age is in old ) and have very fast internet soon to have adsl2+ |
