Download speeds are horrid

Let me make it clear to you. Stop with the personal anger and attacks at us.

The reason I'm asking you to write clearly is not for fun, it's because:
(1) I want to understand your problem and offer help
(2) I'm disabled and reading can be a bit difficult for reasons I won't go into.

So have some damned empathy please.

If you won't listen to the salient advice here, then we can't do anything for you and your only resort must be support. Don;t hold your breath on getting the answer you want.

Um crunchy you called me out and called my writing trash pretty much so no that does not make sense to be disabled and you can process all the extra punctuation but you cant process words with out it and again i said i dont want your help i need advice from someone that has done all of the process of elimination and yet it only leaves steams end to question of course anyone with decent speed won't understand and plus if you found something wrong cool but there was no found errors reported like i said i appreciate it but if you were in my shoes you'd get where im coming from and why i am assuming the things i am ypu are not me you are not experiencing what i am so please dont respond as you have no resource to me telling me to do the same things ive done several times

I'm sorry but the problem is your failure to understand sdisability. I recommend you go and Google dyslexia as many of the finest songwriters ever have been or are dyslexic - John lennon, Noel Gallagher...

I never called your writing trashy. I called it a mess to read, which it is.

I think I'm well aware of my own disabilities and how they affect me. Frankly you not understanding this and imaging I'm somehow not correct is BIZARRE and frankly, rude.

I can't address the last part of your post as I can't read it, sorry. And I MEAN can't, not won't.

Yes, that is a disability thing. Why can't you just have empathy?

Download speeds are fine for me. Op I suggest troubleshooting your network as there is clearly something wrong with it.

It's not impossible sir you're just illiterate you can only read one way easy train your mind!!!!!! my point is steam needs to upgrade their servers download speeds have been slow since before this virus they need to invest money into the networking. Now, if you cant, read with out, punctuation i feel sorry for you reading or studying any older texts in other languages just because English is your dominant language does not mean i have to type with perfect punctuation. And again you illiterate human being i said this has been like this way before the virus! They NEED TO UPGRADE THEIR DAMN SERVERS

Im dyslexic really badly mix up numbers with letters bro no excuse and im legally blind look up keraticonus my cornea is pushing out of my eye sockets making them cone shapes ill never see 2020 even with lasik

If you would have mentioned that before, I would have honestly taken that into account with some of my suggestions about your posts.

If you did mention it before, then I clearly missed it, and therefore apologize for those suggestions.

I have to agree, that apparently, there is something wrong with your network or network hardware.

And this matters how?

It isn't a competition. YOU are requesting the help here, yet you cannot somehow offer the courtesy of making it easier for us who read it, even when their disability prevents it, and then have the audacity to try and say "well, I've got this, so this is how it is".

I'm sorry but with that level of rudeness and arrogance I'm out. I'm thinking I don;t believe half of what you say anyway - the misplaced arrogance, the lack of emapthy and rudeness and unwillingness to listen. All too much for me.

Ive admitted i was wrong or something i have was malfunction but it's obvious with use of other services the download speed is amazing nothing under 50mbps just steam at low single digit MB downloads

Being able to use the internet or other services has nothing to do with the Steam network, necessarily.

Okay, again I'll share it i found another forum that says "if you made your account before a certain date you are not limited by default"

Limited Account has nothing to do with this issue.

Read this, please :

You are talking about something that is completely irrelevant to slow downloads.

[The Giving One]

Did you seriously read some things related to "limited account" and just assume that meant "limited download speeds" also ?

I hope not, but it really seems that way, so that needs to be corrected and explained.

Long ago, a person could create a Steam account and was not limited in it's use within the Community or Store, before making any purchases on it. There were scammers that knew this also, and of course, they came.

Then the spam bots sent people dozens of friend requests a day, as they could just make any number of free accounts and try to do bad things to other users, and Valve had to do something. So they made the account "limited" until any money was spent on the account.

That only worked for a while, so then later, that amount was raised to $5 USD minimum that had to be spent on the account to make it non Limited.

That seems like what you mean by "grandfathered in". And even after that $5 USD was spent, and the account later had less spent value than the $5 USD, that account became limited once again, unitl that $5 USD amount was reached once more.

You can test this out still today, so you don't have to take my word for it.

It has ZERO to do with anything about slow downloads, or connection to content servers. It is a Community and Store limitation only.

According to what you just said, I can go make a brand NEW steam account, and I will see this issue of having slow downloads and that is everyone that has a brand new account.

I really hope you can see how insane that even sounds, by just typing it. That means that new customers that make new accounts would immediately have a very bad experience for downloads of their games, and that means a totally failed business which is Valve themselves, pretty much overnight, because once the word got out, there would be outrage.

Everyone gets the same download abilities on Steam. If you can't download or just have slow downloads, and have for a long time, then the issue is on your end or with your ISP.

If you make that many posts back to back once again, I will unsub from this thread, but maybe that would be best anyway.

I think they should definitely upgrade their servers if they are directly claiming they may not be working properly when people get slow download speeds.

Yes, they totally could see the coming global pandemic in order to upgrade their servers before it happened. (sarcasm)

Also, the message clearly says "download server you are using". That does not mean all servers in all regions.

And once again, if you were seeing this before the pandemic, and for each and EVERY region in the drop menu ( I highly doubt you have tried them all before this pandemic), then the issue is on your end or with your ISP.

I have seen cases, and have proof, where all of the regions needed to be tried before the user finally got a stable and fast download. But again, that was then and this is now, where everyone is having to make sacrifices all over the world.

That includes those that work at Valve, that are sitting at home now also quarantined, possibly.

I've tried to read that mess and I still can't fully understand it. PLease use sentences, as it's impossible to get a proper grasp of what you're saying without it.

TL/DR

And please use sentences in future as honestly, I had to read that several times to make sense of it and it wasn't fun.

OMG, no ♥♥♥♥! It makes my eyes and brain hurt. And he's calling you illiterate? Bahahahahaha
