Best alternative?

So, as a Virgin Media customer am I promised minimum of 60 Mbit/s Download,
I was achieving this barely via a power Ethernet adapter until I got DDoSed via the XBOX,
Since then I'm reaching speeds of 10-20 Mbit/s, I rang them up and some nice fella terminated all connections, this increased it by 10%, ALL wireless connections are hitting 60+ Mbit/s with ease, I have tried swapping sockets for the adapter and still no luck, apart from a tiny bit of increase.

If I can't don't a solution (Running a huge Ethernet cable through the house is not an option, I have younger siblings (5 and 2) play upstairs and will easily get to the line, plus mothers rules say I cannot do this, anyways, I don't know any solutions in my experience, does anyone have any solutions?
I have resettled modem, changed Ethernet cables etc. tried different sockets and it's not increasing.

Do you have an solution or maybe another power Ethernet adapter that you can recommend?

What I mean by a power Ethernet adapter (if that's the right name) is I have a Ethernet box in the mains and I connect a Ethernet cable from router to Ethernet adapter then I have another Ethernet adapter in my room where the PC is and have a Ethernet coming form that adapter to my Ethernet input in the back of my PC.

Hello Maxie, thanks for the concern.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links other than Microsoft;
I am using Devolo Adapters, they ARE old but had no fault with them before the attack happened, I have uploaded a image below for what they look like

I have Fibre Optic, can be upgraded to 120 if need be, but no real point tbh.
And it's helped me alot, thanks.
I'll look into purchasing them soon.

I have just got mine installed as we had a switch from Sky (AWFUL ISP in my opinion) to Virgin - not sure if I will be qualified to have this free upgrade but if I am, I am very happy as I get a new PC and a upgraded internet at the same time.
