You can't boost the speed, unless you can find a better package. Your ADSL supplier will have sold you a connection usually marketed only on the basis of the maximum theoretical download speed. Hidden in the smaller print will be details of the maximum upload speed which is usually only a small proportion of the download. Depending on the quality of the phone line and distance of use you only actually get a part of these maximum speeds. For example my office has ADSL 2 which is theoretically 24Mb but we average around 12Mb and yet the exchange is only 200metres from us.

Whilst most ISPs have been concentrating on the headline download speeds for many, especially gamers, upload is important too. We are now seeing Virgin Media Cable making some improvements and rollingn out a doubling of upload spees over their cable network, even so this will still be a proportion of the download, and not equal to. That is the limitation of the broadband system. To get equal uplaod and downlaod one mores to SDSL or leased line technology.

Assuming your current bandwith is the problem, the only real solution is to upgrade your broadband package, or if no upgrade is available, get a second broadband line into the property.
