It would seem to me that all you are seeing is your connection being maxed out. The time-out's could be a number of things. Do you tweak windows connection setting? how many computer are using the net at the same time? what router are you using and are you on wireless? has your line had interleaving turned off?
I think your best bet would be to use a QoS router (cap your speed to 70-80%) and set the mac address of your gaming machine as high priority. This way you will not max out your connection and see hight latency while downloading.

The only tweak in windows I have done is the MTU 1492 the highest mine can do.
only 1 at a time Pc then PS3
Im using Netgear DGN3500
Use Pc wireless & PS3 wired
my line was on fastpath but then it got put on interleaving 4-5 days ago (even though the support team haven't answered my Q about putting me back onto fastpath )
with the QOS we never use 2 things at once so would be pointless to cap a 3 meg connection.
hope that answers your questions

So you need to make a choice between having Interleaving on and gain some download speed, higher latency and almost no time-out/packet-loss or having it turned off (fastpath) with faster latency (lower ping) but at the cost of reduced bandwidth (download speed) and a high risk of time-out/packet-loss.
I hope this helps.
Im just a customer btw.

Packet losses for our line appear to be intermittent noise, source unknown but isn't anything in the home. Not really much chance of any BT engineer finding the fault, with it appearing to occur in the evening and not always every day.

It could be helpful if you could post the full DSL stats from the modem/router for the connection.

I can see that our faults team have made a few adjustments to your line, has there been any improvement?
