He bought these powerline adapters to reduce the number of cables inside the house, and they claim support up to 500 Mbps. We currently pay about $70 a month for roughly 200 Mbps download and 12 Mbps upload, but the adapters only give us around 25 Mbps. Could you help me figure out how to improve this speed?

You're paying for Mbit, and you receive Mb as a download, which seems standard.

Execute iperf. Powerline typically lags significantly compared to the measured rate.

No problem, I meant 200 megabits and 25 megabits, not megabytes.

The reduced speed with power-line adapters likely stems from wiring issues in your home. Consider switching the outlet where the adapters are connected or positioning them nearer to one another.

You're seeing a decent speed boost with your 200 Mbit connection. Getting 20mb in is a solid improvement.

You are billed at 200 megabits per second.

Often even though a power line adapter can handle 500 Mbps, its Ethernet port only manages up to 100 Mbps. Much of this advertising is misleading, similar to claims about WiFi speeds. These adapters were built for single circuits; crossing them can lead to reduced performance, as you've noticed. People choose them mainly because they tend to be more stable in connections, though in certain situations they might lag behind a WiFi link.
