Painfully slow, that's how I describe it too. Right now I'm on a remote location, where internet is delivered by antennas, bandwidth is not much of a problem but latency is high. I've got used to it for most sites, but not with Gmail, Gmail is an exception, it makes me doubt if I lost connection or not, so I usually open HN to test it and 99% of the time it's Gmail's fault not my connection's. I prefer to use Inbox since it loads twice as fast, too bad Google is shooting it down soon.
