Higher plans can help you get better data centers, some colos are Enterprise only as well due to local costs or maybe just lack of compute
It could also be ALG is rerouted (although status page says ok) or your ISP is picking to route somewhere else/not peer with CF, hard to say
could look at https://cloudflare.manfredi.io/en/tools/datacenters/ and https://debug.chaika.me/?findColo=true and see where you get routed depending on plan, if any go local

So if I upgraded to a paid plan, might I get better availability for Algerian requests?

Potentially, maybe.
For Example, in the event of high load:
We move Free customers first, and if there are no more Free customers in a data center, we'll move Pro, and then Business customers if needed.

It's possible ALG is too small/expensive and only Enterprise even has a chance of getting it. I'm not sure I would upgrade to Pro or Biz just for that, depends how important it is for you though. I would at least test via those two tools linked above to see if any requests at all are routed locally
