Internet is... weird

Good evening Linustechtips Community,

my parents life in two different places which means that we have two different Wi-Fi networks. In the one from my mother im getting more or less consistent 5 mb/s, this alone tells me that the next problem isnt a hardware problem of mine ( That's what I think ). But whenever I connect  to my dads 'amazing' 750 kb/s network it - on first glance - works perfectly. I can watch Youtube Videos, Browse every website and generally do, whatever you can do with chrome. But when it comes to steam or logging into games (e.g. League of Legends ) the internet just shuts off and I get set into offline mode or it crashes half way through. Steam straight up goes into 'We couldn't establish a connection - wanna start in offline mode?' (this is also the case with 'rockstar social club') and League has this weird thing of being able to update in the launcher and verifying my login-data, but not actually letting me 'Log-on'. 

I tested my packet loss on many Websites (with cmd), Yes I tried turning my pc off and on again and - simply waiting.

Is there anything you can reccomend to me in that regard?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

(Ps: sry for me bad ingrish)
