School network with Dual ISPs

I am on a school network that uses dual ISPs with load balancing. This causes no end of trouble for pretty much everything but web browsing.

Games will suddenly lag out for no apparent reason, regular file downloads quit suddenly, and Skype conversations drop for a couple seconds.

I was wondering if there is a way to bypass this load balancing so I can have a fixed external address during games, downloads, and conversations, and not lag out/ get dropped suddenly

Perhaps you should use the network for the intended use and not waste your parents money on games at school?

I suspect the school folks know about the issue, and they probably don't want people playing games or using VoIP on the network.
