Yep that was me and still extremely grateful for pointing it out.
I bought a USB add on in the end to get that extra umph.
Got to admit I don't have much reason to use the full speed but as it is part of my package and not worth trying to drop then I may as well use the facility.

Can you post the link for the adapter we recommended to you at the time so I don't have to find the thread.

Aha no (or at least I don't think so)

The item I bought was this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm not sure if it is the one you specifically suggested but it does the job for me.
I got it for £14.50 at the time but see it is over £20 right now.

A 1000Mbps connection is possible via USB 3

you both have the same first name and you both live in Nottingham. Coincidence?

Nottingham - Nottingham Forest... sometimes referred to as Tricky Trees.

So wonder if the OP thought he was getting more than 100Mbit or used a wireless device that can more speed?

Maybe some confusion in that he was actually connected through wireless at the time of these tests... Or the OP is just confused entirely
