A couple of weeks ago I started getting much slower internet speeds on my PC.

 

Speeds on different devices in the house in Mbps (Down/Up):

 

My PC (Powerline) - 2-8/3

iPad (WiFi) - 30-40/3.1

Laptop1 (WiFi) 50/3.2

Laptop2 (WiFi) 50/3.2

Media PC (Ethernet) 50/3.2

 

You get the picture. As you can imagine, the speed does fluctuate in peak hours etc, but the fastest speed I am getting at the moment is still only 8Mbps down.

 

Since the slowdown I have formatted my SSD (boot drive), restarted the router and powerline adapters multiple times, and updated my network drivers.

 

I would be incredibly appreciative of any help, networking issues are my least favourite to diagnose. Thanks in advance.

my first question would be what is your network speed? Power line is known to be janky as hell.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

okay, that's your internet speed, what's your network speed?

I'm 'supposed' to get 50/3, but before it started being ultra slow I was getting 30-40/3.2 on the computer in question.
