Please remove bandwidth limit

[ǤØЦ₡Λ -iwnl-]

Greetings!

Any chance Northern Europe could have an increase in the bandwidth limit per client? I'm stuck at around 50 MB/s downloading from Steam, whereas other platforms such as Battle.net utilize my entire network at around 120 MB/s, from Stockholm to Helsinki.

Gigabit connections are everywhere these days. Time to move forward, Valve.

There is no limit imposed by Steam/Valve.

Well there clearly is. Cloud platform in Stockholm that has never exceeded these numbers. It's not like their internal infrastructure limits it at 50ish.

steam servers can oblieterate 1gbps connections

Steam does not cap download speeds

download limitations are in general

1) your ISP
2) your CPU being capped
3) your disk IO being capped

No, there clearly is not.

Many things can determing your connection speed to Steam, including the path said connection takes to get to Steam's servers. If even one node along the way is slow, then that will slow the whole connection.

Your connection to Steam's servers is not a direct one and can bounce around many times.
