Hi everyone,
I have a bit of an odd one here.
I have 2 ethernet connections to my router and everything's great. Recently, we got a powerline to be able to get a computer really far in the house plugged in too.
Every time the powerline is plugged, my internet is all wacky. Speedtests either give me reading of 250, which is normal, 3-6mb or they flat and cause speedtest.net to give an error.
Now, I'm with VirginMedia and currently it shows they may be experiencing some issues: https://downdetector.ie/status/upc/
However once the powerline is unplugged, no more issues. Additionally, my neighbour (same building= also mentioned she had similar issues, so in reality what I'm asking is if the powerline can mess up with the electrical system in the building in a way that messes everyone's connection or has this all been just a huge coincidence and it's an ISP issue?
Kind regards,
Tom
