I have no idea what this means. Is it good? My modem says "Embarq" so it's several years old. Don't know if that has any bearing on the results. Thank you.

Don't know what you're paying for but your speeds do not seem sufficient to do any heavy duty data pushing such as Netfix, online gaming, etc.!
I work for a large company with a great many work-at-home employees and we contract for minimum of 512 kbps upload speeds. Download speeds are always a good multiple higher than UL Speeds.
This contracted speed is sufficient for all corporate service we need our WAH people to have: Streaming video, Voice over IP Telephones, etc.
You may need to see what level of service you are paying for and if that is what you are receiving, an upgrade of service may be called for.
Hope this helps.
