Home plug slowing internet speed

Its the speedtest on speedtest.net i,m on D-Link AV500 Passthrough powerlines .

USB2 tops out at about 35MB/s I think, can't remember the exact figure.

Cat5e is the best option into a gigabit switch/router (the best 'home user' option anyway)

USB2 is 480mbit or 60MB/sec theoretical max, not too bad but slower than his connection so still a bottleneck.

As for the question on pings, it varies. I ping about 3-4ms via homeplug which was very disappointing as the main reason I got them was for gaming. Wireless can be as low as 1ms but much less stable.

Faster than his connection, 400Mbit/s faster than his connection so it wouldn't bottleneck.
