The power-line adapters do not seem to be the problem. essentially downstairs is my router, and up stairs is my PC, i have you typically setup of downstairs to upstairs via power-line adapter. The problem is that the speeds i am getting upstairs are half of what i get downstairs, i tried a small scale circuit downstairs using 2 wall sockets, 1 in the living room and 1 in the kitchen, and the speeds were perfect. I was wondering if it would be possible for the actually power lines in my house to be the problem as every other piece of hardware is working perfectly.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

That is exactly the problem. Powerline are just a form or radio transmission that uses the power wires in your house. How well these signal pass over the wire is influenced by many things. Partially it is distance but every splice in the wire causes signal loss. Then you have issues of other device on the house wiring. Some cause massive interference. Things like a vacuum cleaner tend to completely kill these device depending on how close the vacuum is plugged in. Most time the interference is much more minor and just slows things down a bit.

There really is not much you can do about this. The newer models (ie the ones that claim 600m or more) tend to be more resistant to interference. They of course get nowhere near 600m
