So basically more trouble than it’s really worth, is what I’m hearing.. I do a lot of gaming, so cutting my speed is basically out of the question

Right. I usually try to make sure I can live somewhere I can be in control of my own connection, but I understand that's not always available. I've been in the same position before myself and it was a bummer because it felt limiting.

There's some options where ad-blockers are VPN based, like Blokada for Android. That means you could log in to the VPN with your personal machine and get ad blocking that way. You could turn it off for when you game if you game on PC, or if you play games on console, you can always leave it on because it won't affect your consoles.
