I'm not sure if it's an "answer", but the cause of my problem was that my IP had been blocked in the firewall of our own server :/
Anyways the bann has been removed and I got access again!

Based on your comment, to see how long it would take...
circumference of earth = 40,076 km
speed of light = 300000 km/s
d=vt
t=40076/300000
t= .1335866667 seconds
According to the laws of physics, thats the minimum time it would take, if it were a straight shot... which it isnt.

As far as I'm aware, it's not possible to do because there is no way for you to specify which path the packet will take. Even if that were possible, it may be hard to determine which is the right path.
The internet routing protocols are designed to always take the shortest (or least cost) route. So sending a packet to yourself is going to be very short.

It is possible to monitor any and all requests sent/received through a WiFi network. There are many factors that contribute to protecting oneself to include using HTTPS protocols and implement WPA2.
Here are a plethora of threads related to WiFi and security of such:

Some wifi hardware can be placed into monitor mode, and capture any traffic it sees. In this case it doesn't have to be associated with an access point (i.e. connected to any particular network). Wifi is just radio transmissions which can be intercepted with a suitably configured receiver.
Encryption is your friend. Make sure that your access point is ...

Contrary to Ramhound, if I'm understanding you correctly, there is more bandwidth available, but the VPN caps you to a certain amount, correct?
If so, you might be able to use NIC bonding to do it, or possibly some sort of virtualized guests, each one running a VPN, then bond all of the virtualized adapters on the host. It would be fairly difficult to do. ...

Good question, creative thinking, but sadly there is not any way to merge connections like that. Your best option is to consider getting a LTE / 4G MiFi or something similar, or using your LTE / 4G cell phone as a hotspot.
Ideally, you should talk to the college's IT department to get the speed issue resolved, or provide some kind of workaround.

If your PC is getting its address from the router than it's the lease time from the router.
With DHCP leases the address will try to be "re-leased" at half the time. For instance if your computer leases an IP addess and the lease is 4 days, at the 2 day mark the software will try to lease the IP address again.
This can be a benefit if you don't have the ...

The only possibility for an internal LAN machine could see an external DHCP is through the use of some sort of forwarding or relay on the router (modem).
The LAN machine should be getting an IP address from the router, if configured that way, and within the DHCPOFFER phase of the connection is where the options (lease) come in play.
Given the information ...

The easiest way to temporarily disable the internet is disable the DHCP Client. The easiest way to do this (on windows XP) is,
Right click on your My Computer Icon
Click Manage
Select Services and Applications
Select Services
Find DHCP Client
All you have to do is right click on it and hit stop. When you want to enable it again follow the same steps but ...

As the other answers said:
Check you are comparing like-for-like (MB vs Mb).
Real-world downloads rarely run as fast as the theoretical maximum for
various reasons.
Also, ISPs will cheat on speed tests. When they are throttling your
connection, they will whitelist speed test sites.
To get a real measurement, try a test download of a ...

Google "19 megabits in megabytes"
19 megabits = 2.37500 megabytes
Megabit (Mb) ≠ Megabyte (MB)
8 bits = 1 Byte
You have a 19Megabits/second internet connection and that gives you a max supposed speed of 2.375 MegaBytes/second = 2.375MegaOctets/sec

It is not uncommon for ISPs to throttle your speed to well below the maximum speed your line will support, either simply because their back-end bandwidth is oversubscribed (so you are throttled by other users' activity), because they implement a "fair use, variable throttle" policy to try stop their back-end getting saturated, or both.
It is also not ...

While most VPNs are actively blocked by the Iranian government, it appears as though several remain available for use. StrongVPN markets itself specifically to users in Iran, and has received recent, positive reviews from Iranian account holders.
As other users noted, Tor remains an option, though you may be disappointed with its limited bandwidth.

I think I solved the problem. Unfortunately, I don't know which of the two things I did solved it.
First I added one more interface from a different subnet (10.10.8.51), changed the NAT server IP address (10.10.8.200) and sent all the default traffic through that interface.
Secondly, I discovered that the NAT server did ICMP redirect so I disabled the ...

If I understand you correctly, you wish to know your current IP address, right?
If you google for "whats my ip" Google actually shows your external ip address; alternatively, use www.whatismyip.com . You can find the network-internal adress (if on wlan) under Settings>WiFi>Blue Arrow next to your network.
Maybe this is already enough for you to work with, ...

If you have downloaded netgear genie on your computer go into your control panel and uninstall it. Just use routerlogin.net to do any router controls that you need (login:admin password:password).

It sounds like you have tried everything, so two more steps wouldn't hurt you.
First check on IE if any proxy servers are setup then please try (as administrator) to:
net stop dnscache
net start dnscache
and :
ipconfig /flushdns
With Win a reboot always helps.
Sorry I don't have any Win8 box near me to check so I do not know if it actually works.

A bit heavy artillery but also an option. You can use Wireshark (or just tcpdump if in Linux) and see through which port the data is being sent.
If in Windows:
netstat -aon
-a - Display all connections
-o - Displays the owning process ID associated with each connection
-n - Displays addresses and port numbers
Then you can just use the Task Manager ...

You don't mentioned which OS you are using. but I always used NetBalancer software in Windows OS to know that which Software transfer data from Internet.
You can block download or upload or change priority of download or upload.
You can download it from this link: http://seriousbit.com/netbalancer/

Run netstat -an | grep ':80' at the command prompt, which will show processes are using port 80 (HTTP), or netstat -an, and look for processes using port 80, in Windows (since Windows doesn't really have anything like grep.)

Try TCPView from SysInternals. To quote from the website:
TCPView is a Windows program that will show you detailed listings of
all TCP and UDP endpoints on your system, including the local and
remote addresses and state of TCP connections. On Windows Server 2008,
Vista, and XP, TCPView also reports the name of the process that owns
the endpoint. ...

For an ISP the most important advantage of a proxy is probably the possibility of caching — if multiple users request the same static resources from popular sites, the proxy server can cache such resources and serve them to clients without contacting the original site every time, thus decreasing the external bandwidth usage for the ISP and page load times ...

Make sure you're PC is up to date with all drivers, most importantly the network drivers. You can go to the motherboard's manufacturer's website to see what is available if Windows update does not detect it automatically.

looks like I'm a tad late but I think I got the answer: enter to your modem preferences (or router, I don't know the difference, sorry) and deactivate the IP overflooding option. Everything will be as smooth as grease over butter.

As correctly pointed out, Connectify Hotspot is a paid product. However, there are many free alternatives available.
I used MyPublicWiFi and it works fine. Just a word of caution: Most of these programs get stuck at WiFi saying they're obtaining an IP address. This is due to your security setting.
I first uninstalled my firewall and turned on the Windows ...

It is possible, but I would only do it short term, your performance through a PC, especially through USB will not be very good for throughput (The max data of USB 2 is no where near most modern broadband connections).

While the destination is always the same, the return path potentially changes with each hop, even on the same network. Traceroute, in its default configuration, bursts of 3 packets, with a Time To Live of 1. The first router they come to, decrements the TTL, and upon a TTL of 0, generates an ICMP time exceeded in-transit message, which is sent back to the ...

Retransmission, essentially identical with Automatic repeat request (ARQ), is the resending of packets which have been either damaged or lost.

Of course they can - well, not the first level support guys you are speaking to - but they don't want to.
Why would they want to have people banned from whatever forum calling them the whole day to get their IP changed? Also what would they do with all the IP addresses banned all over the place?

Your ISP wants it both ways. They reserve the right to have your IP address change dynamically (as new customers are added or their network is reconfigured). They also don't want to give you a static IP. And they don't want to support manually changing your IP due to it being a hassle for them.
You might be able to use a proxy (something like TOR) to ...

Yes, it could be true. From the standpoint that the impact of forcing the entire network to re-lease its IPs could outweigh the benefit of fixing your issues.
As for it being blocked, they don't know for a fact that you did not get banned from a forum, or blocked from a website for doing things you shouldn't. It really is up to you to find a way to contact ...

The 403 errors you're getting for your curl-based requests show that you're not hitting the same server code path; they're a bit of a red herring in that respect.
The behaviour looks as if there was a problem with PMTU discovery between ingress.com and you; your request is making it out, but the responses are dropped. The easiest way to figure out whether ...

Does it happen when you try youtube in incognito mode?
If so, try clearing the cache and cookies. If that doesn't fix it try disabling each extension you've installed, sometimes chrome extensions can cause problems with page rendering(eg:-adblock).

In the end it was ESET Smart Security 5 blocking UDP port 5355 which resulted in games + other programms losing connection with their respective servers. I tried to add that port to firewall's trusted zone but it wouldn't work. Just uninstalled it and changed to avast.

The later routers are faster at responding to pings than the earlier routers. Routers are heavily optimized for forwarding traffic and often do that much faster than they can respond to requests.
Another possibility is that the return path is better for the later packet. The earlier packets may take an inferior return path that makes the ping reply take ...

I had downloaded Chrome OS Vanilla
From where, exactly? I believe this is important to know. I mean, did you use the Chromium OS? One of the Hexxah builds (probably since you state Vanilla)? Did you visit the page hosted on a Google Server that provides you a link to a site off their server, that directs you to something similar to the OS they use ...

Measuring the current throughput of a connection is trivial. I suspect none of the test would do this inaccurately. However, the maximum throughput as a limit imposed by your ISP is just one of the many factors affecting the actual speeds. Major other ones are server-side caps and the how much load your neighbours are putting on the network. ISPs generally ...

It depends on many things. The current number of users your ISP is catering to (which usually leads to a slow down during peak hours).
But the most appropriate reason, IMO, is the number of users the server which measures speed is catering to.
Suppose a server which is measuring speed has a total bandwidth of 100 MBps; and there are 5 users, say each having ...
