Hi all,

I just "upgraded" to BT Infinity from Sky Fibre. I say "upgrade" but I'm having massive problems getting full speed over the powerline adapters. I have TRENDnet TPL-408E2K 500 MB/s AV2 and with the sky router they were absolutely fine.

However, with the BT HH5 I get 38ish over the wireless and at the very best 8mb on the powerline adapters...

I'm also not massively impressed with the service so far...I didn't think it would be THIS bad!

Cheers

James
 
The fact you've changed ISP sounds irrelevant to your powerline performance. Have you tried resetting the adapters and re-pairing them?
 
Nothing has changed other than sky router to BT router so can't see how it's interference...

The wiring is modern and was absolutely fine on Sky...
 
It's the powerline causing the issue. It may even be the psu of the router that they don't like.

Bottom line is powerline is crap, just a network cable instead.

You mustn't blame the service, this has nothing to do with your isp.

I have to disagree, they were absolutely fine on my Sky router - it has to be something to do with the new router. The speed actually improved somewhat last night and I got nearly 20mb.

However, this morning back down to basically nothing again!

What do you get when you're cabled directly to the router?

Same as on wireless. Around 38mb

You've proved that the powerlines are at fault.

Stop using them and use a network cable.

Fault is the wrong word here. They were fine with the Sky router...

But you are probably right. It's just not very practical to use a network cable and I'm only renting this place so I'm not keen on wiring it up!
