    Yes.

    Do you fancy giving it a go, and see if you get similar results?

    I just ran another test, and the results are:-

    Download = 5.16 Mb/s
    Upload = 14.62 Mb/s

    I wouldn't say it's normal, just not unusual. :)
    I tested a 3 MiFi at home and had 9Mb/s down and 13Mb/s up.
    Move along, nothing to see.
