Between NY and Boston I've never seen the speeds claimed on that Wikipedia page -- not even close.
I only once rode NY->DC and it felt a bit faster, but not hugely so.
I didn't conduct any formal measurements, but I use to be a frequent TGV, ICE, and Shinkansen rider and you can tell you're moving fast by just looking out the window.
