I have fibre plus broadband but I'm only getting about 13-16Mbps download on my PC with an ethernet cable but yet getting 60+Mbps on my phone with WiFi, any fixes to make my ethernet/PC speeds faster?

Which isn't borne out by OP's 2 posted speedtests in response to my request for both a wired & a wireless speedtest.

Yes, that's more like what you should be getting from the PC.

I know, the only thing I can think of since you said the issue is with the PC is maybe a virus making it slower so I'll do a scan to check
