BT Infinity - wireless vs LAN

[MikeO]

I just had BT Infinity fitted at the house this morning.

Using wireless:

Ping 21 ms; Download 65.48 Mbps; Upload 9.13 Mbps

Using my Devolo LAN - (through the house mains wiring):

Ping 22 ms; Download 32.46 Mbps; Upload 9.10 Mbps

Anyone know how I might improve the download speed through the Devolo LAN net?

More info...

Speeds seem to be all over the place, although there seems to be a consistent pattern:

Download speeds consistently low (12-20 Mbps) when using LAN

Upload speeds consistently HIGHER on LAN thanon wireless (12-16 Mbps against 8-9 Mbps on wireless)

Pin consistently longer on LAN (15-41 ms against 7-12 on Wireless)

The Devolo units I have are 200 Mbps PLC Mini Passthrough model HP200PT64BT - both are plugged into extension leads, rather than the wall socket recommended (don't have any option because of the paucity of sockets in my house).

I know I was warned when I first got Broadband that speeds would vary considerably for the first week to ten days and then settle down - anybody know if this is also true of Fibre Optic broadband?

Send it back! We're on TalkTalk and get an average 1.48mbps down and .68mbps up

Didn't I see you in Witness the other day?

Managed to move some furniture and get each of the units plugged straight into the wall - made a BIG difference.

Latest test (using the LAN)

Ping 21 ms
Down 64.46 Mbps
Up 14.57 Mbps
