Need help understanding throughput

I need some helping understanding why 25% of the available bandwidth I think I have never gets used.

I have 1 full T1 plus 14 channels of another T1, which should be a theoretical maximum bandwidth of 2432 kbit/s, correct? I'm using EIGRP unequal cost.

According my router stats, there are occasional peaks at about 75% of

1800 kbit/s, but for the most part a file copy operation will never get more than 1200 to 1400 kbit/s, even on a mostly quiet network.

Can someone help me understand why this is happening so I can explain to management why we aren't getting what they expected?

Thanks!
