steam, battle net and uplay

If all of them are showing similar results,then i think its your HDD.I have a 50MB/s internet connection and when i download from steam to my HDD it only downloads at 5-6 Mb/s but if i download to my SSD it gives me 35-40 MB/s speed.So basically your HDD is bottlenecking your downloads.

or

another issue could be your ISP throttling your connection(some ISPs throttle youtube,netfix,etc...basicly high bandwidth needed sites and servers).you could use vpn to check if its the case.

you don't need a VPN

 

the connection is failing to mantain a peak speed, this could be to faulty wiring which is like the literally the only huge problem those powerline things have and they keep selling them anyway... a speed test isn't constantly asking for data and only works for a couple of seconds so that's why you're getting high speeds there and not in the actual downloads

 

you should connect via a real ethernet cable, on that goes directly from your modem/router to the pc.

You guys really have to use the correct capitals here. Mb Megabits for internet speed. MB Megabyte for capacity on harddrives etc.
