TP-Link TL-PA9020PKIT Only Getting 150Mbps

Basically, I have Virgin Media Vivid 350 (350Mbps) internet, and am connected to my router with the AV2000 TP-LINK Power-line Adapters, with CAT 6 Ethernet cables on both ends.

And I'm only getting around 150Mbps download when running speed test, HOWEVER it's showing in TP-Link's Utility that the power-line adapters have a connection of 450-600Mbps

CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE

Screenshots of some relevant things
tpPLC Utility connection [both ways] : router room to my room | my room to router room
"Ethernet Status" : Ethernet Status
SPEED TESTS : On PowerLines | Straight From Router
My Powerline Adapters : They cost a bit
 
Solution
150 usable bandwidth on powerline networking is pretty good. They dedicate a lot of bandwidth internally to error correction. I wouldn't complain about 150Mbit.

The PowerLine adapaters I have advertise speeds around 2000Mbps across their powerline network

"With advanced HomePlug AV2 MIMO, the TL-PA9020PKIT delivers high speed of up to 2000Mbps over powerline to provide superior network performance that supports all of your online needs. With a lag-free connection, you will never miss out again." - their advertisement

I think that was just an anomaly within my testing, ping tends to stay quite low, and is the least of my concern.

There are 2 PowerLine adapters connected through my mains, each with an Ethernet cable, 1 goes into my router, the other to my computer, I don't use any wireless solution.

okay , 150 mbps is an standard so you must be using a n150 card wired or wireless somewhere in your setup . you gotta look for that .
