Upload speed is slow

[CaseyVVV]

Hi, I've been living in my school dorm and I always have problems when uploading videos on to youtube or playing online games which require a decent upload speed and download speed.My school provides wifi for students and they gave out wifi passwords for each students(everyone have their own password).One day I was like I'll not live with this anymore.First,I check my games to see if the problem was with the GPU I try it online it was very laggy and everyone on my team was saying go away you noob don't use the lag as an accuse.After that I tried the same map but offline.I tried throwing many types of bombs such as smoke,HE,fire and I throw them much as I can.I monitored the fps but it was very smooth.The next day I ask my computer teacher(he manages all the wireless network in the dorm) about the download speed he said it's around 3mb/s in the dorm so I use speedtest.net to view my speed.The download speed was very stable at 3mb/s but the upload speed was very very bad.It was around 0.10mb/s and it stay just right there and it couldn't complete the test.My country is near Singapore and its where most game servers are located so I decided to ping to Singapore.I remembered it was around 50 ping at my house which is around an hour drive from the school.However,surprisingly the ping went up to 300 and I keep doing the test over and over from 300 to 400 to 500 to 600..wow.I'm totally speechless.I have a game back at my house.It was Heroes and general so I try install it and play it to see the ping in the game and I got 1000+ ping some time reach 5000.So here is the question.Is there anyway I can increase my upload speed?And I realize that the teachers got 5mb/s download speed on their laptop is there anyway to get the same speed as they do?

My laptop Wireless adapter is Ralink RT5390 802.11 b/g/n Wifi adapter.(Its on the latest vesion)
The wifi security is and open type but I have to log in thru a website page.

The problem appears to be in the available network capacity and how many people are using it. I strongly suspect that you would have to talk to the network administrator.

Do you have access to a hardwired network connection? Try that and see if it solves the issue. It would take out the WiFi part of the equation. But WiFi networks have a fixed capacity, and you have a lot of people on that network.

Your experience is pretty similar to what I have seen others have with dorm wifi. 2.4GHz wifi infrastructure is very compatible with academic needs but it is difficult and expensive to make it suitable for high density and demand uses like you describe. Reverting to wired access, if available, is the best option when you need a solid and reliable connection.

the router is at the end of the hallway and I'm in the first room so it's not possible to go for the wire. :/ So that's why i see all those rooms at the end of the hallway full with cable routing.
