I've noticed that the internet on my iPad and phone is super fast, hitting around 600 Mbps, but when I check my PC, it's only getting about 70 Mbps. Honestly, it feels even worse because pages barely load. I'm trying to figure out why there's such a big difference between my devices.

There are a few things to consider. First, check how old your PC is and what kind of Wi-Fi it supports—like Wi-Fi 5 vs. Wi-Fi 6. Also, running on 2.4 GHz could be slower compared to 5 GHz, which is faster but has a shorter range. Are you using Wi-Fi or are you connected via an ethernet cable? If you're on Wi-Fi and the router is far away, that could definitely be a factor.
In most cases, using an ethernet cable is the way to go for PCs. Even if you’re in a big place, you could get a long cable and route it around or even install new ethernet outlets if you're feeling ambitious. It'll give you way better speeds compared to Wi-Fi.
If your connection was good before and suddenly dropped, there may be something else to look at. Have you checked if the antennas on your motherboard are properly installed? Those can make a big difference in speed.
