Looks like Verizon has you set to 1Mbps due to the quality of your line. It isn't very good according to those statistics. It's either in bad shape, or it's just long in length. If you have access to a NID, plug your modem into it to see if you can get some better statistics. For information on what a NID is, see this FAQ: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/1317

The NID is often located near your Electrical Service panel or meter. This is because the NID requires an Earthened ground. If it isn't found there, it will be seen on an extension pole should your house be far away from the street and you have overhead wiring.
