52 kbps best download speed, HELP

Today I was trying to stream some music using Sirius or ORB i tried both cause i couldn't get the first 1 to work. which was Orb i figured maybe i had a bad signal or something. So i tried Sirius I have Used both for a while without any problems. I knew something was wrong when Sirius wouldn't Stream I would hear about 5 sec of a 5 min song with a full and half way decent signal. I had no other programs or anything running. except sirius at the time. I did a soft reset along with a Clear temp run and clean ram run. and tried sirius again.....same result again.

I was in parking lot and had no obstructions at all (full signal), I then tried speed test from the orb site and at the MOST i would get a 65kbps rate, if it would even register most times it would time out. I was getting aggrevated so i just did a Clear storage and start fresh. with the only app installed was sirius. same result nothing but alot of buffering.
I checked the speed and it was about 45kbps.
So my last resort was a Hard reset I figured this would help a little or just fix the whole thing. but I was wrong. (lol sadly)
Same result again

I just did a Speed test at Mobilespeedtest.com, with the only program installed sirius and the out come isnt to good i would say. It told me that Verizon's avg speed is about 650 kbps and sprint about 560 kbps just to give some of you a idea.
And mine was a ASTONISHING 52 kbps. which is pretty accurate i did the test a few times just to be sure. and before and after a Clear storage and Hard reset.

also tried to watch a short vid with youtube just to see it was low quality and very slow downloading the vid.

I would love for someone to tell help me out with this, i searched on here and verizon and nothing i found helped.
