Their smallest plan is 5/2, so you should get roughly twice (5000 down, 2000 up, minus overhead) of that if you're on smallest.

Means that you're getting only half of what you are paying for (best case scenario)...

Connection speeds are between your location and the central office serving your location. Actual download and upload speeds will vary based on numerous factors, such as the condition of wiring at your location, computer configuration, Internet and network congestion, and the speed of website servers you access, among other factors. Speed and uninterrupted use of the service are not guaranteed.

That's how they get around the 5/2 spec.
Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
