Powerline speed issue

Playmaker

I've got a TP-LINK TL-PA4020KIT AV500 Nano Two-Port Powerline Starter Kit which I brought from amazon: here

Both of the adaptors are plugged into the wall sockets and here's what my speedtest.net results show:

I'm paying for 120 download and 10 upload, the upload with the powerline is fine however the download speed is not even half of what I'm paying for.

I just want to achieve the best performance possible since the Powerline utility software this product came with is showing that I'm receiving 103 download:

I haven't played around with any of the options here, so maybe someone more experienced could tell me how to improve my speed?

TP-LINK powerline adaptors are trash. Mine gets worse than wifi, I only still use it because I do not have a wifi adaptor for my pc.

I was getting similar to what you had when I used to use powerline... I just ended up running a cable from the Router to the Office in the end!

I guess I'll just call up my broadband provider and pay to have it relocated to the top floor (where I use my pc) and drill holes for the rooms below me and use long ethernet cables for them. Thanks for the help :)
