DSL Speed Question

I'm not a newbe to PCS . I am new to dsl . I just subscribed to Verizon's DSL service . the low end connection plan .. up to 1 Mbs I Have run several speedtests . They show my download speed between 700 & 950 Kbs . Web sites come up pretty fast and I am able to see streaming media just fine . When I download files I seldom get a "transfer rate " of more than 120 kbs . I have had dial up for years so I dont have much to compare this to . Is the 120 Kbs download rate about all I can expect with this plan , or could I improve on this rate by getting a better router/modem , or tweaking my current modem/router settings ? Not looking for a detailed answer , just would like to know if I am in the ballpark at 120kbs. Thanks .

Just for the record I have installed a dedicated line just for this connection . I am using the Verizon supplied Westell 7500 modem/router
