Download throttling in STEAM

[SCG_wtornado]

I am getting a lot of throttling and I have tried 4 regions to see if that would help to no avail.

I have zero packet loss in Ping Plotter and the latency is rock stead on my line.

Could a STEAM rep comment that they are or are not throttling and if they are I will look no further.

Support does not respond to forum posts.

I have had no issues with Steam speeds and steam does not throttle speeds. Those tend to be either an issue along the connection line or the ISP.

Same for me. Has been going on for a while too. To think I thought the culprits were my drives.

Ping Plotter showed nothing abnormal with a 10% variation in latency and 0% packet loss with my line and Netflix streaming on the TV is good too with no interuptions.

World of tanks is the only other game I play and it has no lag either so I don't know what to say.

Try more Regions.

Each connection is different and takes a different route to get to various servers. If the connection is making too many jumps, then that can slow it down. Error correction between those nodes can compensate for packet loss as well.

Netflix and a game do not saturate your internet connection like a Steam download does either, so they can't really be used to compare and none of it will tell you if the ISP is throttling Steam.
