Depends on where you are located.
In the US 768kb/s down, 128kb/s up isn't enough to even be called "broadband."
"
the United States (US) Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as of 2010, defines "Basic Broadband" as data transmission speeds of at least 4 megabits per second (Mbps), or 4,000,000 bits per second, downstream (from the Internet to the user’s computer) and 1 Mbps upstream (from the user’s computer to the Internet)."

My connection here in the US (provided by my cable TV company, as a consumer package, not some special professional/business deal) is 25 mb/s down, 2 mb/s up.
