They're still good speeds for browsing the web, checking emails, streaming videos and so on. Looking at the numbers doesn't really mean that much. My cousins have internet that is more than twice the speed of mine, but they both feel the same when using it.
Better than what you would've gotten on Verizon 3G, if you look at it that way.
I only get around 6 Mbps, why is it so sh(I)tty?
