To get a connection faster than that you'd probably need AV500 powerline.

What speed to you get with a cable?

with a wired connection

my wireless is by no means bad and im very happy with it but if there are simple cheap ways to to improve it then i want to try them

if your paying for a 50/60 mb connection thats good, and like everything else, you can't do much as it depends on time of day and how many are in your area with same etc etc
different hardware won't improve it much, paying for more always helps

we are on a 50meg connection supposedly, so im happy with that first result over wireless, i certainly cannot complain about it as i can stream 1080p from yt and also hit 15mbs download on steam (it weirdly did 39mbps for a breif moment the other day) while browsing the forums with ease

just wondered if there was a easy way to improve wireless results

Change to open DNS servers supplied by Google. Alternatively you could try asking BT to check your line for any problems if you're not sure. Other than that you should have the correct amount (remember it depends on your location/grade and quality of line).

Edit: What package are you on from BT? Since it shows "BT" in the speedtest picture.
