Hi I’ve just had virgin 200mb fibre installed and downstairs I’m getting the full 200mb down 20mb up on Wi-Fi and plugged into router, but with gigabit power lines I’m only getting 50mb down but still 20mb up on the one plugged in upstairs, is that normal?
 
Yes unfortunately, what powerline adapters advertise on the box and what they deliver can potentially be two very different things. All sorts of factors, such as noisy electrical devices, wall warts, extension sockets etc can cause the signal to be attenuated, resulting in lower speeds. for best results ensure that the powerlines at both ends are not connected via extension leads and that there are no wall-warts or plug-in type PSUs in adjacent sockets.
