No. Stop that. Digicel has always advertised its 4G offering as "Mobile Broadband". Even if it is just treated as "4G" by the definition as to what 4G is, they should'nt have any problems with maintaining at least a 4Mbps download rate.
The truth of the matter is the their "4G" is just a marketing ploy. I am pretty sure that their version of 4G is not like 4G in other regions. What makes matters worst is they were the ones to first block VOIP data on their network because of supposed "network congestion". How crap must your network be if you cant handle VOIP data traffic from a few hundred connections?
Their network is just not provisioned adequately to handle (mild?) data usage. They must have thought that Jamaicans would only want to chat each other on Facebook or send emails. They were never prepared for Jamaican wanting to download 40+Gb games from Steam and watching Netflix in 1080P
