That won't do you any good. There are so many things that affect speed that you could have two people with an identical setup and still have wildly different speeds. Your computer, your local network, your ISP, the route your traffic takes to get to Dropbox, the Dropbox network and servers, congestion along any part of the route to Dropbox, throttling by your ISP (very common), failures along the route that cause your traffic to take another path, etc.
Simply put, there is no expected speed. You get whatever speed you're capable of given all the factors above, and many others.
Hi, Sorry to chime in on a 5 years old thread.
I had the same problem (I found this thread while trying to find the solution), and somehow managed to solve it by using VPN.
If I don't use VPN, my DL speed were 5-7MBps.
I'm on a 250mbps FO, so that DL speed doesn't comes anywhere near my ISP service.
Turned on my VPN and instantly my DL speed goes to 29-30MBps.
Maybe VPN will be a solution to anyone experincing the same problem as me.
