[fevoman13]

Idk whats going on. bought this pc like 8 months ago and steam seamed like it downloaded fast now it drops from like 40 to 0 on the network... a damn apex update is taking an hr and i test the internet connection on my pc and i get 800 download and 70 upload... so the pc is getting the internet just steam isnt using all of it. i have tried every fix i found online from clearing stuff, changing servers, setting it to high for steam... nothing still the same. Can anyone help? this is why i stick to console so much lol

Well I'll ask a friend to give me his Steam credentials and test again...I 100% hope it won't work because it won't make any sense. But in 3-4 days i'll switch from SSD: Western Digital 256Gb to Samsung 970 Evo plus 2Tb, and maybe a fresh Windows 10 install... and maybe in the near future I'll go from 16 to 32Gb RAM, which I thought would be way more than enough.
Thanks so much for your replies, I was desperate to find a solution so I would stop being a joke between my friends, who some are still on cat5/copper connection(not a shame) and smack me at download stability & speed on Steam.

Doubtful that'll serve any purpose because using his credentials doesn't change your hardware at all.

you should conentrate on changing what you CAN test - your hardware.

If you can borrow his account (which is not a good idea for the agreement you agreed to anyway), why not simply use his computer to put YOUR details into?

Just finished upgrading to the faster NVME, fresh Windows 10 install... Still the problem persists ( https://imgur.com/a/NQv5N8n ) Steam being the 2nd software I installed... I just give up

a lot of wd disks break within 4 years (this is because so they sell more). (this has been tested by a company selling disk backup software)
hopefully you have a good disk, but I don't support that company myself due to schemes basically. (seagate does the same unfortunately, but the rates are harder to guess)
considering the ssd market is a lot bigger now (more competition) you'd hope they'd do these things less, but whatever

You may need to look at your router.
and also I recommend testing a linux live usb system to test download outside of windows, in case it is something on the os.

Erm, I'd like to see some concrete evidence of this, because that sounds ridiculous.

Any peer review of this also?

WD are no different to any other manufacturere from what I've experienced and read about too.
