I was thinking of optimizing my connection in the hopes that the reliability and speed might raise slightly.  Even getting 8kps out of it would let me play a few MMOs in peace.(Currently get 5)

Is there a good optimization guide out there?  I found a recent guide a while ago, but I reformatted and lost both the settings and the bookmark.

Yea, I know, 56k.  Don't say it even though you will anyway.
