How do i fix slow downloads?

[LAUGHING SOLDIER]

Only on steam my downloads are super slow. Internet downloads are okayish, xbox and playstation downloads are quite fast. Why is Steam so slow?
Example Image[puu.sh]
I've tried restarting my hub, restarting steam, having steam the only thing running, nothing seems to get it above 1MB. What can i do?

Yes you have an issue with your connection. That isnt an issue with steam for sure.
Unplug and switch off your router for 3 minutes the connect then cables back and switch it back on. See if that resets your connection. Make sure you physically remove all the cables and power cable from the router.

Okay, because, i do remember (before using SkyBroadband) steam having an ocassion drop, and having an alright connection but i thought it was just a.. idk, a drought of some sort on steam with downloads.
I'll do what you said, re-do the speedtest thing and post it again.

Ping: 31ms
Download: 6.55Mbps
Upload: 0.68Mbps
They're my new tests after the complete reset. I guess why theres so much more of an improvement is because i unplugged, disconnected instead of just pressing reset/just turning off at the wall for 2 minutes

do you know what your advertised speed is meant to be?

Sky doesn't do speeds you 1st claimed to have. You cant get 100s of mbs per second with sky.

I think the advert said upto ~40ish, i think? but my laptop seems can only get at most, 7Mbps-ish?
Consoles in the house get OVER 100s, upto a GB if im lucky.
My smartphone does a nice 1-4Mbps, which is expected since its just a phone and nothing big is normally on it.
So i think its just the hardware of my laptop.
The Sky Broadband is quite a new make this one[res.cloudinary.com]
My laptop is an Acer, weak and broken but still works.
Phone's a Vodafone
Xbox One and PS4 (probably the only person to have both at once lol)
Edit: Problem is now, i'm only getting Disk Usage, alot of diskusage from steam but no network at all. Nope, sorry, it's just Payday 2

Just remember Mb vs MB/s a 40mb connection will get you about 3.5mbs download speed.

restart your routter maybe

Restarting the router does give me a plus ~100Kb/s for a minute or two but then it just goes back down to even slower speed

That sounds like your router is throttling it

I'd do a hard reset on it

what do you mean a hard reset? Leave it off for like a hour or two?

Okay 20-40kbps is a joke now

I cannot say it is related or it will help you, but when I saw this, I remembered this....concerning Vodafone.

Hello, following another thread in an italian forum, i just found out that a service activated by my net provider (Vodafone), called Vodafone Rete sicura (Safe network) blocked Steam, ports and other functions after its newest updates, i just turned off it (they activate it without warning you, and make you even pay for it) and immediatly the downloads started working again, it's a programming error for sure, or somethin like that. Thanks for your help and your patience that i'll never have, i'll have this problem back, i'll warn you.

And then again, another user in another thread......
