Wired internet speed

[Stuhutch89]

I got fibre 2 installed last week in a new build house, primarily to ensure I had decent internet speed for playing games online. My wifi speed is generally pretty poor between 25 to 30 mbps so I got a BT mini connector to wire my playstation to the router which is a room away. The speed is absoloutely terrible on it and it is achieving about 8mbps which is pretty unusable. When I run the speed test on the BT site it says my router is getting 74mbps so I'm not sure where the problem is. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

So btspeedtester shows you are getting 74mb but some other method showing download of 8mb - is that a download speed as you download a file ?

is it possible you are getting your bits and bytes mixed up
