If you are interested in the technological terms, check out Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), Time To Live (TTL) and TCP Receive Window (RWIN). Of course you can tweak these settings in Windows registry, but it is not recommended to edit the registry unnecessarily. Therefore, download a tool like TZ Connection Booster and let it do the tweaking for you.
It is generally believed that good connection can be achieved by setting MTU to 1500, TTL to 64 and have a reasonably large RWIN value. However, you should experiment with various different values, for example, I think I get the best performance at MTU:576, TTL:64 and RWIN:130000+.
The above settings would affect the overall network performance of your system. But some firefox tweaking might help in improving your web browsing experience, too.
