but i cant get more than 319kb/sec
on both conections,wi-fi and standard
i have router D-link 624
have not done any settings

the 384 is a theroretical speed
a) depends on connection quality (even with cable)
b) part of it is used for the protocol communications.. so there's no way you could have a 384 with a 384 -
yes,but you know what?
i have the same conection at home and work.
and in both place the real speed is @320kb/sec -
be sure to note which is kiloBIT and which is kiloBYTE. 1 kilobyte=8 kilBIT
math for a 1.5 MegaBIT DSL line = 187 kiloBYTE/sec -
That's typical if your running wireless. Specifically the distance from your wifi card to the router, and the fact that what you pay for, more than likely isn't what your going to get. But close..

Either way, you ARE getting 384kb/s. TCP/IP has this thing called "overhead" which your measuring programs don't take into account. TCP/IP packets require routing information, headers, checksums, etc., and all are included in the 384kb/s you get from your ISP. However, the data you care about is a smaller portion of the total packet. About 80% of it though. So, if you do some simple math, 319kbps is about 83% of the total bandwidth you should have. Just about makes sense.
Also, if there are ANY packet collisions or things that need to be re-sent or any errors in the network, it'll slow things down. You seem like you're getting right about what you should. -
thank-you for helping me
