and please dont say you are on wifi, ( to the point wifi has higher Latency. ) this is fact.
Steam pro gamer dont play on wifi, and never will. ( casual players , who cares ) amatures.
There is a reason i and other say this, ( i and other AIM on best network with lowest lag, this means byebye wifi )
ps.
it's millisecond per packet's ( and games forget you send many tiny packet's to get update, it might not matter for a human , but i bet you forgot all other s connection with it into game server. ( every MS count ) for have a game run as smooth as possible.
btw someone said to me that it may be a server issue, in the download settings you can change download region but i never tried it
Do you get what you are paid for into own ISP.

Your problem is from ISP into other ISP partner partner and steam in other end.
You can try switch steam DL zone , but that require connection to other direction is lesser crowded,
Also ask own ISP, what the point you paid for exaple a highway with ISP's cant deliver it. ( this is seen before.
This shopuld be seen at windows resource manager if drev is busy then it wont DL because you can't handle the inconing data ( network work as intended according to network protocol )
so at this point i think steam is the issue keeping me capped at 230mbps
i even changed download region multiple times and got the same results
idk if am the only one having issue with steam
The difficulty is working out what it is that's causing the issue between you and Steam.
One thing to check is disabling write cache (assuming your using SSD) in windows for the drive you're downloading to. Usually the symptoms are drops to 0 when this is the cause but it doesn't hurt to rule it out.
The best thing you can do is google where in the world is currently around 2 to 4 am in the morning and choose ANY of those countries. Because they're going to be the least populated.
Servers are computers and they are all over the world. You rent them or buy them. Most rent.
As such Valve have no idea where they likely physically are. So they have little control over them, only in the sense they rent them and run them.
And servers are networks which connect to each other. As they are built to run non-stop, they're robust but they're not perfect. They have hiccups and often go wrong. So they're designed to talk to each other and when things go wrong they divert automatically.
SO none of this is anything Valve can touch or control much.
They have more than adequate servers generally and they do watch demand too.
But many epople don't understand how Steam works. It isn't like other services. Games are both encrypted and compressed, so when you donwload it relies not just on your net connectiong, but your RAM, CPU, I/O, hard drive and more. You can easily see which is causing issues by opening Task Manager and seeing if any of those resources get hit hard.
If they do, that's your bottleneck.
And lastly, Valve always recommend you never go over about 90% used on your hard drive(s). If you do, it slows down drastically as your computer fights hard to try and find space to do all that unpacking.
So make sure you do all that.
but as i said i just tested downloading on deferent apps llike EA and Epic Games both results gave me very high speeds averaging 780mbps to 890mbps which i am satisfied
so bottleneck is out of the story
the only issue is steam right now, i still haven't figured why am getting this low speed, anyways
i might just reinstall steam over again with default settings and see what's up
Steam was set up first so many years ago. You have to remember that. Because back then people didn't have fast speeds, many still had dial up.
As such this is a major reason why their downloads are both encrypted and compressed. It lessens the time and amount.
SO I think you've utterly misunderstood the point.
