Yeah, frto should help if you're seeing unnecessary retransmission timeouts caused by delay spikes. It won't do much good if you're also losing packets, e.g., due to overflowing the modem buffers. From what I gathered from your explanation, the cable link might also be bunching up the incoming ACK packets into bursts, each of which causes the sending TCP to inject a corresponding burst of new segments into the network. If that's what is happening, rate capping is probably more effective. Even if you set the rate cap a little high it should mitigate the effects of the bursts.
