That's about right for their 1.5 Ultra service, you might be able to see as high as 1250 or so, but over 1200 is perfectly normal.  The rest of it is lost in overhead.

based on the 7% overhead, the max is 1350 Kbps, with a dl speed of 174
the highest dl speed i have had is 156kB/s......maybe the bellsouth overhead is just more though...or maybe im just unlucky

*this is a bit off topic, but thanks to all the people that posted the dial up cablenut settings (my cousins dial up bandwidth is now 102Kbps/12.8kB/s)

Overhead with a PPPoE connection is well over 7%.  Here's a link explaining it:
