I have been using a mobile broadband (HSDPA) connection for the past 2 years. Recently, the ISP started throttling speeds, but the issue was fixed after sometime. However, now the connectivity is pathetic. It takes a long time to establish a connection to a website. I have been experiencing this for the past 1 month. It takes 10-20 seconds to load a webpage.
The USB modem (Huawei E303c) constantly keeps switching between the HSDPA and WCDMA mode(which is quite normal with other networks too). Whenever I need the modem to switch back to HSDPA, it takes a lot of time. This is not a modem issue as I have tried other netoworks in the area which are performing well. This is not a signal issue. I get about -75dBm of signal strength, which is pretty decent. I am measuring speeds using Speedtest.net. Here's a recent result :
As you can see, the upload speeds are pathetic. This is not a local network congestion issue, as it does not vary with the time of the day. Ping stats :

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 269.872/942.538/3757.755/690.849 ms, pipe 4
The traceroute has been posted in the first post, linked at the top of the post.
What can be the issue with the network? Is there something else I am missing here that needs to be taken care of?
I am on Ubuntu 14.04LTS.
