Poor speeds in Kodi v Browser

HI Guys any help or advise with this would be much appreciated. I am using Kodi on my PC hard wired. My ISP is virgin media Ireland. The image attached shows 3 different speed tests all performed on the same machine the 1st ran in chrome browser giving me good speed. Second run in kodi using speedtest add on . The third is with my VPN turned on the pc and then the test run again in kodi using the speedtest add on again.

It appears that kodi speeds are really slow compared with what I have in browser. I have tried all the usual, reboot router, restart PC, I updated Kodi to 17, turned off anti virus & firewall but nothing helps.

I have an android box with kodi and this is giving similar slow results when hardwired or wifi so its not hardware I don’t think
