I don't know who thought you maths/geography, but he failed.
Portugal and Australia are almost on the other side of the world, so it's the biggest distance you can get. Pakistan is about halfway on your way to Australia. With a good host, he could get a ping between 150 and 200. With a bad host, yea, it might raise a lot.
The last thing you should do to boost your connection is using programs. The first thing you need to do is ask yourself: did my connection slow down the past days or not? If it didn't, then you're having a bad host. If it did, then restart your modem/router (and your computer as well, just to check). Check if it boosted. Make sure you don't have any downloads going on, and uploads are even worse for your ping. Clear your DNS if nothing helped (you'll find on ****** how to, cba to search now).
If nothing of that helped, either you're provider has problems/reduced speed, someone else is on your network or you've got a malware program. Or it might as well be the usual lag when you play from such a distance. Try pingtest.com, if the Jitter is low, your ping is normal.
