LAN Speeds

At the moment using my powerline kit from downstairs to upstairs im getting transfere speeds of around 5mb/s through homegroup with networked drives.
i
'm using
tplink 250mbps Powerline kit through the virgin media superhub.

I want to try and speed this transfere up.

What would increase these speeds dramatically?

500mbps powerline kit or a new router and use the superhub in modem mode?

Can you reccommend any powerline kits / routers that would increase speeds.

Nothing stupdibly expensive.

if I owned the house the floorboards would have been the first thing up.

I rent so just want some decent speeds transferring files between my main pc upstairs and the HTPC behind the TV.

Yup, exactly

I had 'gigabit' powerline adaptors, the best they managed was around 10MB/s.

In the end I just ripped up the carpet, cut a piece out of the floor board, drilled a hole through the ceiling and put some trunking down the corner of the roof. The wife wasn't too keen on the looks, but I don't care. Now it's full speed gigabit cat5e

transferring files from 1 pc to another over your home network what speeds do u get?

I presume 100MB/s

what its rated at and what you actually get aren't always the same though.

my 250mbps rated powerline kit should get 15.5MB/s but in reality it gets about 6MB/s.

Was after some real world test to see what people are getting
