"...And when I finally got to speak with a native it let me down big time."
Try: ...and when I finally got to speak with a native, my ISP let me down big time.
First the use of the comma allows the listener to know that you meant that your ISP let you down and not the person you tried to practice with, and second, because you are talking about a few things in this sentence you may want to restate "ISP" instead of the word "it" to avoid confusion. Very good English!
