The keyword is UPTO 500mbps .
A few questions that comes to mind.
1. Is the signal passing any automatic fuses on the way? Automatic fuses contains a coil that attenuates the signal considerably.
B. Are there any neighbours having PLCs as well? If so, they will disturb each other unless you put a filter on the feeder line.
III. Are your PILs house connected to one phase or three phase power? If it's three phases there's very little signal going between the phases, but some actually might since they have one lead in common.

1. No idea. don't know how to check it.
B. Probably, it is a fairly big community.
III. Two cables + ground?
Yep, the house is made of concrete, but having a laptop just by side of the router and plugged to the router using an Ethernet cable gives 300mbps in a speed test, this decreases to 10mbps when the connection is done through the wifi...
Thank you!

Hmmm ...
Actually,
A little trick I learned the last time I replaced (to the tune of $230.00 dUS) my router/modem on my DSL hookup to the mothership over copper was pulling the Cat-6 line out at the back of it with a pinch of the spongey wings, waiting for seven seconds, then replugging-in. You'll be able to stop any blinking LEDs, with some luck, after a true synchronization occurs where the LED for that particular line becomes steady if successful.
'Might have to try a couple of times to get the steadies.
This has always been key for me as long as I've had this service (... over a decade?). Getting rid of that non-synchronization. I know, you didn't exactly say the connection was dis-synchronized. But I'm taking some wind from one response here which mentioned the idea of the "brown out" due to loads on the line and distance between 'yer devices and where they're plugged in on the circuit in 'yer manse.
Oh, and the THE HARD WAY lesson: Don't be think'in you'll just keep turn'n on 'n off that modem until the synchronization shows steady. Doing just that repeatedly, say a dozen times
in three second succession, until it does ... makes for another outlay of $230.00 and a $120.00 service call from a tech/repair a absolute certainty. Every two months!
I was a slow learner once. Now I'm much older.

I have used PLC for many years across circuits. Admittedly, I'm in the UK which uses ring circuits and a shared fuse box; not an American star layout.
Look for any 'dodgy' appliances on your electrical system - fridges, washing machines etc - that may cause spikes.
Also, higher speed links need better quality lines due to signal-to-noise ratios which is one of the reasons that I only run 200Mbs PLCs.

I'll ask them to unplug the house and replug all the devices one by one to see if they can find which one is the cause of that so low speed.
Thank you!

Have you thought about setting up a Wifi system to get round these problems? My daughter uses wifi on my system to interact with the internet when she comes round.
|

|

Yes, but the wifi speed is even worse than the PLC one...
|
|
|
|
|
Must be an old or bad wifi? An ac router should give you faster speeds than the achieved PLC speeds you quote.
Edit - just a thought in your OP are Bits and Bytes getting confused? do you mean they get 10MB/s down or 10 Mb/s?

Well so, finally am I. No pollips thankfully but a few abrasions for which they took biopsies.

I'm sure that's what you meant to say.

Very, very rarely will I do full IRISH breakfast as it really is too much to have regularly. Whenever we're away however the gloves are off and I'll eat every last collesterol filled mouthful.
We had chicken for lunch and I'm working up the energy to make some perec[^] for later.

I've got a gammon in the slow cooker, the Dauphinoise potatoes are cooled and ready for the oven, the pineapple segments just needs sugaring and roasting, the Hasselback potatoes I haven't started yet, and the green beans just need top, tail, and cook.
Pretty much sorted!

Are you sure you don't need help to eat all that? It sounds so great and I am sitting here at work... starving!

I once sat in the pilot's seat of a Concorde parked for maintenance at Heathrow during my time working there. It was an amazing aircraft! However, these days even it wouldn't help since it would take longer to go through security than to cross the pond!
Bon Appétit!
