Cruising speed of jet aircrafts

When i was studying the performance atpl theory book i read that the best range speed for a jet aircraft is 1.32Vmd while its max endurance speed is Vmd .

What are approximately these speeds for a twin engine jet aircraft like an a320 ,and do they actually fly at 1.32Vmd at cruise ? I heard and i do not know if its correct that such aircrafts cruise at a speed near there Mmo , so if they do so is it better to fly at high speeds over flying on best range speed , and why

Thank you .
