There are also tons of ways inside of games to limit the amount of bandwidth needed to play it... Half-Life games for example, if you change the rate (how much is coming in), the cl_updaterate (how many times the rate is updated per second) and cl_cmdrate (how many times commands are updated per second), you may find that the gameplay is a little different, and you'll have to get used to it, but you'll no longer lag in anyway, if you set them low enough; and realistically, you don't need them very high in the first place if you're just playing for fun.
This is just what I did to get around my school's ISP craponess. Also, if you wish, get all your friends to become night-owls too... usually connections inside a school network are shared by WAY too many people, this problem frees itself up usually around 1 am. =o)
