If it is 3G due to poor signal strength you might benefit from one of those Wilson WeBoost cell phone boosters. A bit pricey, but they can work well.I know first post said if you are above the national average but just so you know:

And I pay $80/month for this. A grandfathered Alltel unlimited 3G data plan with a USB dongle now from Verizon. It's all I can get (not even satellite) and I'm lucky to have it. It's the price one pays for living in paradise but the internet and cell phones weren't even really a thing when I bought my property. Believe it or not I can actually stream Netflix and others, as long as no one else is using the network. Imagine this now with 2 kids being home schooled this year.

Indoors I can barely sustain a phone call and basically no 3G data. Outdoors phones calls work and data sometimes works at low speeds like yours. The booster can provide a room sized area indoors where I could get 15-25 mbps data over 4G. Essentially takes the outside signal, boosts it, and rebroadcasts it locally indoors. Also boosts the out-going signal so the cell tower can get a better signal from you.
If you are truly on a 3G only setup because it maintains your unlimited data it might not be a signal problem. Even then you must be on at least 3G HSPA or HSPA+ to get those speeds. A booster could likely triple it if the signal isn't strong. It might likely quadruple it if you have 3G HSPA+.
