Why would my phone have a higher speed test score than my PC?

I've recently moved into a new house and I did some speed tests to see how good our setup was. The setup isn't the most simple, with the master router being in someone else's room and a secondary router acting as a repeater/extender in the living room downstairs with a PowerLine HomePlug connected to that secondary router via Ethernet and then a Powerline Adapter in my room that connects to my Desktop PC via Ethernet and my phone connects to this adapter via Wi-Fi

We're on Virgin Media's VIVID 200Mbps package and I get around 75 - 80Mbps which is more than fine but on my phone I get around 150 - 160Mbps. (Though if I could get that speed on my desktop that'd be fantastic!)

I was wondering if anyone could help me determine why there's such a difference between my phone and desktop PC (According to speeds from speedtest.net)

Thanks!

It's probably either a bandwidth setting on the secondary router, or that router isn't configured correctly and is throttling the data feed.
