6mbps / 8 = 750kb/s. And you will never get the "max" speed.
Unless you are seeing a significant decrease from another computer connected to the network, I would write this off as normal.

I seriously doubt there is a problem then. Check your DSL modem's diagnostics for line noise and such if you think it should be higher, but this sounds normal.
