I am currently using a D-link power line adapter to play without the wires. I used to download files and game downloads at 3.5 mbps, (internet speeds are 30 and 5) but now I am only downloading at 100kbps? IDK if the wire is faulty or what, but any replies would be great.
 
Solution
Maybe the adapter is slowing it down. Try connecting without it.

I don't know what to say about the ethernet cable, I can bend those all I want.

I forgot to mention, but I unplugged one when I couldn't find my wireless adapter because I had to go to my grand parents house for the weekend. I found it but I never plugged the adapter back in my power line. I reset ed it though and what I had to do on the original setup. I came back just today and accidentally bent the Ethernet wire a little, but I think its fine. Other than that, it has just been happening,
 

That's a good reason too. Your download speed also varies on where you live, and where the server you're downloading from is located.
