3.12Mbps download
1.53Mbps download

Yes.

The 54mbps is the wireless connection speed between your router and computer.

Broadband speeds via a phone line will be dependent how far you are from your exchange. The further you are - the slower the speeds. The speeds are advertised by your ISP as being UP TO 4meg. Also, the servers that you are downloading from will play a part in what d/load speeds you get. If those servers for example are are overloading or don't have a very good "connection" at their end, you may notice slower speeds.

The 54mbps is the max bandwidth supported by the wireless standard 802.11g. It is the maximum speed that your hardware supports when sending data wirelessly over your internal network. It is not directly related to your incoming connection.
