that is the speed your provider says the real speed is 15:8= 1.87 mb and you are wireless using so 0.74 mb is normal

Just to clarify things here, MB is megabyte and Mb is megabit. 8 megabits fit inside a megabyte, thus allowing marketing to inflate numbers due to lack of consumer knowledge. Assuming you have a 15Mb connection, then the max download speed you can get is stated above at 1.875MB. Getting .74 MB/s download on a wireless device is pretty good assuming there are walls/distance between you and the router. This also isn’t taking into concern other devices on your network also using your connection.

Well Mb marketing goes back to the day when dial-up was popular and the general populous understood modem baud rate as an indication of speed. "Dial-up is only 56K max while our broadband is 15Mb or 15000Kb.

Just like the term “unlimited” in reference to ISP plans comes from the time when dial-up was restricted to only X hours a month and not the amount of data consumed.
