"Yes of course we have a firewall installed on the server"
"Err but is it actually enabled?"
"Nope, this security checklist just said it needed to be installed"

The latency isn't a by product of DSL technologies. It is caused by Interleaving.
If you are happy with a slightly slower connection, you can get lower latency but it must go slower to prevent errors.
Its usually a setting on your router, with Interleaving always enabled by default.
