First check line quality. If you have a faulty router/ISP switch you could be losing packets. This may not always show up in a speedtest, but torrents will be dead slow.

Do a simple ping google.com -t and see how frequently packets are dropped.

hmm ok.. Seems to be a restriction itself then. Sorry, but I do not have much experience with VPNs.

I'd first check speeds with a known well seeded torrent like an Ubuntu image download, see if your speeds take a hit during that.
Also, if you're on wifi b/g, do the check over ethernet or at a time when you're sure there is no one else using wifi bandwidth.
Try a 30d trial etc. of a reputed VPN (not the shady free ones). see if speeds improve when using the VPN.

you can also get a cheap vps and set up a tunnel - i think you can get one at 3-4$ per month. ALso, aws free tier is also possible!
