ADSL is a technology that is disappearing, but I have just remembered that
some ISPs were allowing gamers to disable the interleaving, to reduce the
measured RTT, despite having more packet losses, then.

I remember getting that option years ago by Jazztel ISP in Spain (now
Orange). You could just go to the web interface of the ADSL router and
enable/disable the interleaving, depending on whether you want to play a
game online (or make a videoconference) or you are watching a movie or a
football match...
