Faster download on wifi than wired Ethernet

Netwiz — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 08:40:12 GMT

I have G.Fast and a Home Hub 2

When I use a speed checker on my iPhone 7 I get 120-150Mbps down

When I then do the same test on my Ethernet (cat7 cable) connected Win10 PC I get 80Mbps

Upload speed is typically 20Mbps on both, but the PC periodically drops to 8Mbps

The Ethernet adapter on the PC is set to 1000Mbps

When I run the test on the BT wholesale tester https://speedtest.btwholesale.com/ and do an advanced test it tells me the IP profile for download is 73Mbps which as far as I can make out from the help file is effectively a limit on the speed, although I that were the case I shouldn't be able to get the much faster speeds through wifi.

Any suggestions on what's going on here gratefully received

Nick
