I am playing steam games such as dayz and arma 3 on an hp envy 15.5 in" and since I am in college, I have no access to the router configuration settings. Also, there are no ethernet ports in the dorm. When I test my ping it is low~3-6, and my download speed is around 20mB/s as well as my upload speed.
Things I have tried to fix it:
Rebooting computer
Updating Drivers
Disabling windows firewall
Run anti virus scan

At this point I am really frustrated because the internet is fast in every other aspect however it is terrible for gaming. It behaves this way at any time of day as well. Any help is much appreciated

 
Solution
There really isn't much you can do as all the problems are with the internet and not your computer. You can only try to play at times when not a lot of people use the internet.
