With most ADSL services, as long as you're getting at least 80% of the advertised speed, then it's fine.
There are many factors that can affect your speed such as phone line quality, distance to a CO or RT, and ISP overhead.
Remember that the speed you're getting is in the range of 1.5-3.0 Mbps (180k-384k/sec. data transfer rates), so your speed may vary, in other words, it's very unlikely that you'll get the full 3.0 Mbps.
