It is not totally bad, but your 1st hop does start a little high. I assume you are fairly far away from your exchange because 25ms is kinda high, but not bad. At least it looks like you have very little jitter which is excellent, meaning your line should be pretty stable.

Here is another example on my line where the initial latency is one of the better adsl lines:

As you can see, much lower, but a bit more jitter so less stable but very fast.
