Responding to a pm:
You receive data AT high speed i.e. lots of data per second rather than WITH high speed. 'With' doesn't make sense here. You don't get speed with the data.
Also, the use of 'speeds' shows that you can receive data at various speeds and the alliance could increase these speeds. So the usage of plural 'are' is correct. So (E) is fine.
