My Bell South ADSL line at work and home run about the same:

1126(down)/242(up) Kbps

I've been thrilled with my connections since the day I got ADSL.

I also have Roadrunner in my hometown. It's about the same as yours. Mostly it depends on your area also, if you have people near you that have the same cable ISP it slows down the connection.
