Check your RJ-45 cable (assuming you're not on Wi-Fi) and make sure it's Cat5e at least that supports Gigabit, Cat5 caps out much lower. Have you done a speed test using ? If you're getting a much lower transfer rate there too, then Steam isn't the problem. I have a 1GBps connection and almost never see Steam go to 250MB/s, maybe 200 on a good day but most of the time it's around 100-150. This means your download speed would be 125MB/s at most (unless you got 8Gbits which I find unlikely). 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.Ĭlick to expand.You most likely have a 1000Mbps connection speed, not MB/S. This is dial up days of speed where games take HOURS to download instead of the minutes it should. 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. 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. My internet speeds are good to go, my firewall settings aren't in the way, etc etc. I have 0 issues even with EPIC and Xbox game downloads on GamePass PC. This started becoming very noticeable when Gotham Knights came out.

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.



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. As of this year Steam has become basically an unusable store front for me.
