That is how a WISP - Wireless ISP works. A single access point may serve 30 to 100 subscribers. The only way around that is to wait until hell freezes over and they offer a dedicated point-to-point (PtP) link from their tower site to you. Ain't gonna happen, bubba..well, mebbe for several hundred dollars per month.
Skybeam has, last time I looked a year ago, a congestion based throttling policy that cuts your speed to half of your paid plan. From what I read it may be only for an evening duration. You shouldn't be throttled to less that 7 Mbps, so 2 Mbps points to more likely Skybeam has oversold the access point or has insufficient backhaul capacity to the tower.
