I'm aware that this question is asked a lot all over the web by various different people.
I don't understand why my Steam download speeds are so low. I am in the UK and have a pretty fast Fibre Optic internet connection. 30 - 40 Mb/s. My internet speed is great for all other stuff. I have regularly performed speed tests and I get at least 25 mb/s if not more however on Steam whenever I download the most I will ever get is 4.4 mb/s.
Now I'm aware that speed obviously comes down to the server you are connected to also but if I go to task manager on my PC and go to Wifi it says I am currently receiving anywhere between 35 - 37 Mb/s. The only thing my PC is running is Steam and nothing else is even open or accessing the internet. So if my PC is downloading 35 - 37 Mb/s why is steam only using and downloading at 4.4 Mb/s?
