You can't.

This IP is reserved for OGERO users. IDM has their own public IPs and their own routing (which passes through OGERO, and that means the internet just can't be as fast as a BLINK user)

Wrong. IDM users don't even have public IPs. They only have one :D

IDM does have multiple public IPs but uses only a handful to give private IPs.
If you want a public IP for yourself, you should go with the SOHO connection from IDM. However, you will be paying upwards from 150 USD for a 256 kbps connection (which is too steep for such a speed).

Lowering your ping? The only way you can do that is go with Ogero. Ogero provides international access for all ISPs in Lebanon (apart from the satellite connection some of the ISPs use to offset their overload on their backbones). So, Ogero users have the lowest pings since they connect them directly to the international backbone instead of having them to be rerouted multiple times to reach the international access in the case of the other ISPs.

if that is the case why is that my friend in Europe (sweden) has a ping which only inceases by 5 ms max if pinging at Australia while using an ISP and to my knowledge the cables from Ogero to ISP's are fiber optics.

It all depends on how far you're from the central and the quality of the lines used for your connection.

As for the connections of the ISPs and Ogero. Even if they're fiber optics, Ogero is the sole distributor of international access to all ISPs and they would definitely treat their own customers preferentially. So, in essence, Ogero is the bottleneck that all ISPs have to go through for international access including MTC's and Alfa's needs.

Plus, Lebanon has a very limited international bandwidth (something close to 2.3 Gbps, not sure if true). Limited bandwidth means limited connections, lag and high ping times.

that is 100% true i have nothing to say ...... so we should blame the government (again).

Even though they support privatization.
