Hi there!

Recently my broadband (TalkTalk, in the UK) was upgraded to fiber and all my device were showing 140+ speeds, except my PC which was only around 20/30 mbps. I thought it could be my wifi card (Quallcomm Aetheros AR9287) so i bought a TP-Link AC600 wireless dongle but this didn't change anything. Now I've got a TP-Link TL-PA4010P KIT AV600 powerline network and this is still showing the same speeds. I've tried scanning for malware, updating all my drivers and flushing the DNS with no results and I'm completely stuck for what's causing the slow speeds.

If anyone has some other ideas I could try id love to hear them.
 
Hello

Do you know what plan you have with the provider since they went to fiber ?
What kind of info would you be looking for? What kind of thing on the plan would effect the speed on one device? The speed on my PC didn't change since the upgrade. And it isn't affected but the number of devices in the house either.
Thanks for the reply though
