if you adjust the window size on the sending and receiving systems, you can improve this, but this solution is impractical, as you would need to get everyone on the internet (or at least all of the webservers and websurfers you are servicing) to make adjustments to their local TCP stack.
The receiver is the one that informs the sender how large of a window it can accept, so it can be practical for a subscriber installation. It wouldn't be a good idea to park a bunch of servers behind one of these links, but any receiving node that set its TCP receive window to 2x the byte/sec capacity of the link should see decent throughput.
