Why never a connection reaches more than 30%?

Hello.
I have now installed a wireless 11Mbps.
But the problem isn't new. I've allways have this "problem", I remeber this
since my first network YEARS ago.
I could never see more than 20 o 25 % of network speed.
I happens with a 10Mbps., a 100Mbps and the wireless 11Mbps!
Whenever I check network activity with the taskman, it's allways below
30%!!!!
When I'm trasnferin a file from one PC to another!
I have had direct connections with twisted pairs, I have had a 10Mbps HUB,
and now I have a Wireless router. And ALLWAYS the same.
Is it a problem, or is it just like that on any system???
Thanks.

I get the same even when I do transfer large files, just put it down to
being like that because 'it's the way it is'
