270 Mbps speed will be used between your wireless machine (like laptop) and the access point. If you have some old wireless AP which only supports 802.11g then you can not reach to that speed. So this is advantage of having "a Netgear range max which is rated up to 270 Mbps".
Therefore your experience of data transfer and streaming video will be better compare to any 802.11g AP/router. With 802.11g router you can not fully utilize your cable internet speed. But now you should able to do that.
i have just bought a Netgear range max which is rated up to 270 Mbps, if my cable internet is only 30 Mbps approx what is the point in having 270 mbps.
I am guessing data transfer and streaming video should be better but thats really a guess, so for example sometimes with my old 54 Mbps i streamed video to my PS3 it was always a bit stuttery (thats a technical term i picked up) shoudld it be streaming better with the higher speed?
How do I know what speed my PS3 will receive or any other item for that matter
How fast will any of these items receive or how do i find out.

I don't exactly know whats up with the very technical and confusing language used around here. Your question was simple and well written so I will attempt to provide a legible reply.
The 270mbps speed is referring to the speed of your local network. The speed between two computers (or phones or PS3's) inside your house will be 270mbps.
The 30mbps that you see from your ISP is referring to the speed between a computer in your house and the rest of the world.
If you want to send a movie from your computer to someone across town it will go at 30mpbs. If you want to send a movie from your computer to your PS3 it will go at 270mbps.
Hope that helps.

Brandon is right except that many devices, such as the PS3, is limited to a G connection (up to 54 Mbps). I overcome this limitation by using a wireless bridging router to which I can hardwire my PS3 through which I do intensive video streaming.

By the way, 270 Mbps is only the theoretical link rate. That does not mean that you will achieve those speeds when you transfer a large file (e.g., 1 Gbps). Actual speeds are probably less than half that due to overhead, interference, and site-specific issues.
