if you're using blockchain wallet..when sending use advanced option..it will allow you to set your own fee...search for how to calculate bitcoin transaction fees..you will find the recommend fee dependent on the byte size of your transfer..don't be stingy or you will be waiting and waiting and waiting.
Thats it, just put a lot of fees to make transaction faster that is the solution on that problem, that is why me i avoid using blockchain wallet for now because of that i used the wallet in some faucet to received and send fund to my main wallet because of low fees and quick confirmation of transaction. Just try it and prove it by your self but just choose the faucet that not scam.

Sometimes redundancy is needed to understand something.
Agreed, though.

Assuming you are consolidating your addresses with Bitcoin on them to minimize Inputs the only thing you can do is increase the miner fee.

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
Everyone here is advising to send coins with higher fees. But can anybody explain how do I increase the amount of fee if I want to send coins from exchanges like Poloniex, Bittrex etc. where the fees are automatically decided & there is no option to change the fees manually even in the setting menu? 
Exchanges usually pay appropriate fee. You don't need to worry!
If you are using exchanges or online wallets, I highly recommend you to use offline wallets. There are a few online wallets which are "okay", but use them at your own risk! You *won't* have full control over your bitcoins!

1. Use higher fee, to get a tx confimed you need a mining pool to confim it and normally they confirm tx with higher fee ("bounty" from the view of the pool) first.
2. use viabit tx accelerator. https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ (do not use this always just in case you made a mistake with the fee)

Everyone says about higher fee but I googled and tried everything still cannot find anything on how to do this with blockchain web interface. May any one inlighten on this?
Btw I have 2 txs delayed for around 36 hours, the fee was like 11 s.
What did you tried? Increasing the fee? You can actually changed the tx fee on advanced and that's all you have to do if you do like faster confirmations then better to pay up higher tx fee but if not then stick only to standard fee but expected waiting times would be more longer compared on higher tx fee. Btw I have 2 txs delayed for around 36 hours, the fee was like 11 s.

Just send it with a higher fee. Normally confirmations on blockchain won't take that long unless the blokchain is busy, if that happens, you can't reall do anything about it but to wait.
From experience, increasing the recommended transaction fee will help your transaction confirm much faster.
I like the speed of light, if it could be made more quickly.
Do you think thats the long term solution for Bitcoin?
No. But right now, that is all that users can do to make their transactions confirm faster. There is no other option at the current time. All that users can do is pay a higher transaction fee and hope that the miners activate one of the scaling solutions available that require consensus changes. So is there any way nowadays to speed up blockchain tx?
Whenever I send money using blockchain.info web interface my tx is unconfirmed for a while, but when I get money from 3rd party websites, say virvox, tx gets like 30 confs in 2-3 hrs WTF?

There are two major complaints about bitcoin in 2017.
One is that transaction times are way up, thus the slowness people are experiencing.
The second is that transaction fees are way up -- now more than $1 each in most cases.
These both may indeed be big problems in the future.

I sometimes send with a 12 sat/bit and it gets confirmed in a few minutes, and sometimes with a 60 sat/bit it takes hours to confirm, it also depends on the status of the network and if there is a lot of transactions waiting to be confirmed and if they paid more fee than you or not.
0.0005 and I never have any problems.
