Blazing fast for a few minutes...then the speed slows dramatically. All the providers have "turbo mode" that is REALLY fast for the length of time it takes to complete a "speed test", but drops to half that speed a few minutes later. Download a large file and you'll see it's really fast for a few minutes and then the speed slowly slows to about half. Their speeds are marketing ploys.
