Powerline slows down my internet

Hi,

I have just started with a new internet provider and got a new modem. I'm just getting some problems with internet when I connect my powerline PL1000. Just to clarify, the device is working without problems. I have internet connection through the electrical wires, but when I connect another ethernet cable to the modem for my PC then the internet connection slows down in that PC but not in the one connected to the PL1000. When I desconect the ethernet cable from the modem (the one connected to the PL1000) then the internet returns to the PC connected directly to the modem. It looks like the Powerline PL1000 is "sucking" the internet from the modem. Can someone help me?
