Gigabit network speeds

Hey guys. I just finished wiring up the whole house to take advantage of a gigabit network. Everything is on Cat6 cables and running off a D-Link 4300 and a Netgear gigabit switch. There are a couple of 100 foot cables and I'm wondering if they are affecting speed throughput.
Anyways, I can't seem to break 28MB/sec transfer speeds. Windows task manager shows usage hovering at around 25-29% during heavy transfers. Does this sound ok? Seems like an awful waste of network utilization but I wont argue that its not a sh*tload better than the old 100mbps setup.
Any ideas?
Thanks
