No that is very slow, but it depends what your internet speed actually is!

first ae you using wifi?
if yes you should be far away from router sooo... get closer
if no you should contact the support

given that i get 12 Mbps and i consider mine slow... talk to your ISP. Also how is your network set up? if you are using wireless then consider using LAN Cables

Are you talking about your download speed in Steam? Because if so then surely it says KB/S, not kbps? They are different things.

720 KB/S equates to approx 6 Mbps.

i mean in steam 720 kbs

KB and Kb are two different things. KB is kilobytes and Kb is kilobits. 8 bits to one byte so 1KB is 8 times bigger than 1Kb. not 6 as previously mentioned

OK, that changes everything. If Steam is reporting 720 KB/S during download, then that must be multiplied by 8 to get your download speed in Mbps (that typically advertised by your internet provider).

720 KB/S x 8 = 5,760 Mbps.

Go and check your speed through http://speedtest.net. It wouldn't surprise me if its reports your speed somewhere between 4-6 Mbps.

THX you saved my day so is 6 mbps good
