HSPA+ is far, far from 2 Mbit.

Also, I'm sure the Facebook app works wonderfully with 2 Mbit, because they've spent years optimising for that.

Whatsapp/other messengers, FB and Twitter, maybe - but next to no other app is optimized for low internet speeds. Hell, ordinary games will regularly go into and above 200+MB territory for download... and in contrast to your computer where you can have DVDs with games sent to you by post, no such luck for smartphone apps.
