Slow Download speeds with Fast Internet
Hello
I am having a little trouble when downloading games
I have 1gb download internet: https://www.speedtest.net/result/8921549136
I downloaded a game and the peak I would get was 255.2 Mbps: https://imgur.com/a/BajbgBy
I change servers a state above me and my peak was 280.3Mbps
So I was wondering if anyone would know what to do

Thanks, I would really appreciate if someone can help me

My experience with Steam's download speed has been very mixed. It appears to fluctuate across game size and the game you're downloading. There are multiple factors that affect your download speed as well. The speed of your drive, the speed your CPU is able to handle decompression or the distance between the server you're downloading from.

300 Mbps seems within acceptable range for the game you're downloading. Try downloading a larger game and let us know your speeds you're getting.

I'd like to see any router that's capable of pushing past 866 Mbps wirelessly lmao. The only routers I know that are capable of this are 802.11ad routers.

talk with your ISP , who said they are part of steam server ISP they are connect to.
you could be a ISP neigbour to it, and that means ISP cant deliver 100% and we are back at congestion, ask any Network technician, ( and you can actual test this try this at earli morning.
5am , reason is no ISP work or they should be done and all in your region should be sleeping.
this sort off a proof that ISP router should have lesser user's on them.

ps.
do not forget ISP service agreement , i bet its from you to ISP that speed is GUARANTIED, not rest of the world, unless steam server is directly connected to the ISP

and yes its complicated, ask any that know network.

even Ceezus Crisp seem to know something about wifi, and soon ax is there so yeah things change.

Ok i tried again this morning with siege

During: https://imgur.com/kEs8kZ1
After: https://imgur.com/iFccFAI
It took about 30 to 40 mins and average was around 300 Mbps to 390 Mbps
The peak this time was 423.1 Mbps
This was from the server in my state

You said it could also be your drive speed
From the speed of the drive on the screenshot is that good?
If not how do I check my speed?
