What are the rest of your system specs like? Unlike many other launchers, Steam decrypts all game downloads in real-time to the point where a slower CPU or non-SSD storage will absolutely bottleneck your speeds.
It's usually easy to confirm either way by keeping task-manager open during a download and observing if anything is pegged at 85%+ usage.
Open a command prompt
Type powershell , hit enter
Copy and paste this command: netsh interface ip show global
Copy and paste the results here.
Edit: Oh, and after that first command, also do this one: Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty
Again, paste results
OK, everything looks to be default there, so no problems. Can you run that second cmdlet I mentioned? Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty
If they were, how would I figure this out and how would I have them correct it ?Are you sure your ISP is not throttling Steam downloads? A few years ago, my ISP did that. I don't have any current issues.
It says this is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
You could try using a VPN to see if the problem goes away. Have a look at this:If they were, how would I figure this out and how would I have them correct it ?
Holy shit you're telling me that I'm not the only person this happens to? I didn't realize that. I also have 1GB internet and the same thing happens to me.As of this year Steam has become basically an unusable store front for me. I have 1000MB/S download speed, and no matter what I have done from the constant hours of following guides/advice online I can't get a consistent and good download speed. Sometimes it'll be 10MB/S, other times it can spike up to a nice 100MB/S for a bit, but the majority of the time it flat lines off a cliff into 0kb/sec for 15+ seconds at a time until it gives me about 5 seconds of download time again around 20MB/S.
This started becoming very noticeable when Gotham Knights came out. I have 0 issues even with EPIC and Xbox game downloads on GamePass PC. My internet speeds are good to go, my firewall settings aren't in the way, etc etc.
I've googled and many report this issue, and switching download city/servers hasn't fixed it either, or really anything you can think of.
Has anyone else encountered this recently? At this point I'm going to be forced to the EPIC game stores not because I want to, but because Steam has just become unusable. This is dial up days of speed where games take HOURS to download instead of the minutes it should. I'd settle for 30 minutes, but what's the point of paying for high speed net that works great for everything, BUT the one thing where I need it to get all the juice from it.
TLDR: Gabe Newell is a bitch.
We have a 400 MBIT download (50MB/S) Speeds seem to be on point.
Then your isp is probably throttling steam unless you mean MB then you are doing great! LolGetting like 110mb/s download speed with steam. No other device/store is hitting that.

Less awkward and more like Backwards! Your ISP measures in Mbits and Steam's download is measured in megabytes. Other than that your conversions are wholly accurateYou know that ISP's measure there speed in Megabytes and Steam uses megabits right? There are 8 bytes per bit so 100MB download from steam would be 800mb from your ISP. Awkawrd![]()
reminder that an upper case B when referring to bandwidth means megabytes not bits.As of this year Steam has become basically an unusable store front for me.

Fail. I will never post again I'm sorry.Less awkward and more like Backwards! Your ISP measures in Mbits and Steam's download is measured in megabytes. Other than that your conversions are wholly accurate
