slow download speed
Hi guys,
I am not sure if its the correct place to ask for any ideas but I couldn't find anywhere else better.

I am from Istanbul and I have stable 100Mb/s fiber connection.
I removed PUBG to reinstall but my dload speed is so slow, around 4.5 - 5MB/s.
I changed my dload server to Germany - Frankfurt, now I can download with 8 MB/s.

Is there any problem with Turkish Steam servers or thats me?
I get 3ms and 92Mb/s from Speedtest.net

Thanks for any help in advance.

If you did change regions, and that helped, then that can be normal. Sometimes, this is necessary.

I was getting 6MB/s dload when I had 50Mb/s connection, now I have 100Mb/s for couple of weeks and the download speed on Steam is the same. It's just weird. Maybe something temporary.

There are steps you can take to troubleshoot it further, if you think there is a problem, but changing regions is a normal method used by many users, as sometimes your regular download region may be experiencing issues.

I would first start with bypassing any wireless hardware and run ethernet from modem to computer, depending on your hardware setup there. Even if you have no other issues, this can sometimes show results.

Speedtest does in Kb/ps , right? If that was true what you're saying, you have 736 Mbits internet.
100Mbits = 12,5 MB/ per second, wich should be 12,500 kb or 100,000 Kb per second.

Try fast.com, that might give better results.

edit : Oh well, it's Mbps, not Mb/s. Not sure if you knew there was a difference.
