(im sorry if this isn't networking i thought it fit here the best) so i did a speed test when my pc was plugged in through Ethernet and wifi, and wifi actually was the same as the Ethernet speeds? is it just my wifi receiver is that good or what

What kind of speed test? Local or over the internet?

Most low end Wi-Fi routers and Wi-Fi receivers will do at least 54Mbps. If your ISP download/upload speed are no higher than 6.75MBps then you'll see no bandwidth difference between copper cable and Wi-Fi or if your Router/receiver & ISP are better than that you'll still see no difference so long as the ISP connection is slower than the local Wi-Fi. It's all about what's the bottleneck.

Would help if you include more information .

Is your computer a Laptop or a Desktop ?
What is the speed of the package that you sign up for ?
Do you have a high end wireless card like the Asus PCe AC88 ?
What router are you using ?
What motherboard are you using ?
Is your LAN cable a cat4/5/6/7 ?
