And that is during the low traffic hours.

The icon says 4G, but that's just what the dev of the ROM I'm on at the moment uses for HSDPA.

6 Mbps is pretty good. It is low for what At&t is claiming of their LTE speeds, but it will certainly get the job done.

In reality speed tests are a lot like benchmark tests. They are cool to see for the sake of comparison, but real world application is much more important. If your phone were to get 500 Mbps in speed tests, but didn't perform that way when downloading or streaming media then it wouldn't really matter. As long as the speeds you see in the test reflect your real world needs with the phone then you are doing good.
