So recently noticed when i have been downloading games etc on my PC i have been getting roughly 8MBPS, i am paying for M250 Which says i should receive around that, but im getting no were near that..
Im running wired not wireless so should have quicker speeds
Check for known faults in your street. Try both methods:
Call the local fault line: 0800 561 0061 – this is an automated number.

Check the Service Speed:

Once the test begins click on: Run full test
to include: Latency, Jitter, Packet loss & Upload speed
I assume the PC's ethernet port is at least Gigabit and that you're using a suitable cable? 8MBps download doesn't sound far from the real world speed I'd expect from a 100Mb ethernet connection (based on when I was accidentally running my PC's ethernet connection through a 100Mb surge protector).
8MBps is 64Mbps, so not too bad when there will be some restriction by the games server - it's not a speed tester.
For the internal connection, try a new cat6 cable.

Do you experience low speed test results on alternative devices?
Thanks,

wired as in ethernet to ethernet directly, or via powerline adapters?
