Does Three rate limit the 5G router speeds?

Hey peoples, I recently joined Three and got their 5G router. (NR5103E)

When I connect my 5G mobile phone to this router via Wi-Fi and do a speed test, I consistently get ~450Mb/s download.

However, when I connect my PC via a LAN cable and do a speed test, I consistently only get ~110Mb/s download. The NIC on the 5G router is at least 1Gigabit and the NIC on my PC is 5Gigabit (Marvell AQC111C). Why is there such a discrepancy between the different devices? Even though Three says it's unlimited with no restrictions, it kind of feels like the speed is limited.

I'm hoping I'm doing something wrong, or that there is a setting somewhere I missed.

Thoughts anyone?
