What's your Download Speed Average?
Oddly enough, my speed testing says I should "technically" get 2.5 MB/s but here I still am at 400KBs
What do you do with all that internet?
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, also tried changing download region. ANYWHERE I go in the world it caps it at 400KB/s
It's strange

Right now I'm just watching Twitch. :X
I definitely feel your pain. I would go mad waiting that long for games to download. ;_;

Are you sure it's not telling you that you have 2.5 Megabit. they're 8 bits in a Byte so that's about 400KB.
Comment has been collapsed.
if steam is set to display in bits it does mpb, so that picture is in bytes. I only get 512kb myself.
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, steam is in bytes. the internet service providers tell you your speeds in bits though in order to make it sound better than it is. and i'm pretty sure you get 512KB (kilobytes per second) which would be approx 4Mb/s (megabits per second) download speed. otherwise 512Kb (kilobits per second) you would only be getting 0.5Mb/s (Half a Megabit).

At home if I'm lucky 1.6MB/s
At my parents' if I'm lucky 600KB/s

Around 5mb/s on steam.
But i havent updated my plan since forever,i guess i could get 10-15mb/s for same price these days.

I recently upgraded to 60mb download. And while I can reach a maximum of 7mb/s, that would make the internet too slow for myself and others who share my connection. So I cap it at 5mb/s.
I wish steam allowed us to fine tune the cap.

It is soooooo slow compared to any other download I do. :(
Comment has been collapsed.
I have the problem too. General internet speed is pretty fast, downloading anything else is fine, but Steam game downloads are very slow for some reason.

I used to have 400kb/s like you, then I got money in the bank account.

It goes up to around ~7.3; my Internet connection goes up to 10, so it leaves some bandwidth for other stuff while downloading :-P
Comment has been collapsed.
1,2MBs max, 1,0MBs right now because there is someone else using it. It is still pretty slow but It still doesnt stop me from downloading tens of GBs every day.

I'd be perfectly fine with that huge amount of internet q.q
Comment has been collapsed.
Not really huge at all sadly, but the best I can get :) But yea going from 400KBs -> 1MBs, might not sound a lot, but it is a huuuuuge improvement. I used to have ~450KBs most of the time till a few weeks ago my ISP finally got enough of me calling them (over the past 3 years) and finally came to fix something so now I actually get the speed I should have gotten all those years...
If I could borrow a bit of my internet speed to you I would, because I know how much it sucks :/

My ISP gives me 3.50 Mbps which = out to .350 MBps :c

Im usually dl'in at 6+ Mb unless all the kids are dl'ing as well. :)

I just got fiber internet so I get anywhere from 30-45 mb/s, it's everything I've ever dreamed of! Downloaded a 22 gigabyte game in less than 10 minutes.
Comment has been collapsed.
i know right.
got fiber in october and i get 150mbps (18MB) and it's amazing.
GTA V downloads in 1 hour.

I usually hover around 17 mb/s which is disappointing since we just upgraded our internet to 150mb/s :(
Comment has been collapsed.
are you sure that is 150 mb/s, not 150bps, because 150 mbps is about 15 mb/s

300Mbps Down connection. The funny thing is the provider thought that 6Mbps UP is enough. FML

Damn! Now that's what I'm talking about. O.o
jealous
Comment has been collapsed.
I recently got upgraded from a 200Mbps connection to 300 with no extra monthly charge. I would have given away that 100 Mbps down for an extra 4 Mbps UP. It's hard to Youtube with that shitty upload. :(
I had another go at it, and this is the max speed I've seen in any aplication.
Comment has been collapsed.
We're supposed to be getting fiber in the area soon, so I'm hoping I'll see speeds like yours in the next 6 months or so.
They're always stingy with the upload speed here, too. I don't upload anything, though, so it doesn't affect me much.
I really can't complain -- they're upgrading everything for free to remain competitive.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's awesome then! For me it was not that big of a difference, going from 200 to 300, but I still remember going from 20 to 200. So you`ll enjoy it, for a while, after that it will be slow once more. lol

My official speed should be at least 1Mbps, but it translates to about 150kB/s in Steam. Oh well...
Comment has been collapsed.
That is the correct speed. Network connectivity is usually measured in bits per second whereas storage is usually measured in bytes. It takes eight bits to make a byte. For some reason, Steam measures network connectivity in bytes so you need to take your network speed and divide by eight to get your theoretical max Steam speed.

Usually 2-4 MBps, atm for whatever reason it's 5.2 MBps DLing Aragami. It's still bullshite thou - I have 100/100 fibre connection, I often DL torrents with 30-50 MBps speed, yet on Steam I never saw DL speed over 7MBps... Quite a shame for the biggest and most-earning platform on the fucking planet...

I think it's likely the route between your ISP and their servers then. I am on a 300/20 cable connection and usually get 25-30MB/s on Steam while others on the network are streaming stuff.
Comment has been collapsed.
Dunno how far you live, but here (Silesia) I'm able to download Steam stuff as fast as torrent files. 18 MBps. Poland server.
Comment has been collapsed.
Pretty close - Lower Silesia, Wroclaw to be exact. And it's not the case of weak connection causle like I said -I have no problems DLing most of other stuff, but Steam DL speeds suck. Also in my hometow in centre PL its the same but there it is more likely the case of my mom ownish shitty isp plan ;)

I bet some SG user that is jelly of your wins block your Steam. "He may have those wins, but he won't be able to download them! Muahahah!"

I'm getting max for my speed, so around ~30 MB / s.

How much do you pay for your interwebs?
Comment has been collapsed.
69 PLN, which translates to 17.55$ USD monthly.
Excluding discountos, I always pay less than this
Comment has been collapsed.
damn you and your Warszawka-deals! I'm paying 69 as well for 100/100Mbps :<
Comment has been collapsed.
I know people who are forced to pay 3x more for 10x less than you, so we're still lucky :3.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know them as well - aka my mom ;p 75PLN for 10/1 Still sucks ;p When I moved to Wroclaw 10 years ago it was (old eWro) 2nd fastest network in whole country. But they did not improve it at all yet only raised prices (and sold network to big players twice along the way) :( And in the 10-years meantime half of the big cities in PL caught up with them and then ran over them with better connections for lower prices :/
I know that I have much better connection that I would have in some small city. I know that I have hundreds times better connection I'd have in Bieszczady. But still I am salty that I had one of the best internet connections in Poland and now it's just "it's ok, be happy you don't live at koniec świata" ;p

Issue is, the only ISP available out here (because FOR SOME REASON ONLY 1 ISP PER AREA) wants me to pay $2,000 dollars to bring a line from the road to my house, then pay the monthly subscription on top of that
Comment has been collapsed.
Well yes, if I didn't live in a flat in the capital of Poland then you can be sure I'd have much worse internet, location is crucial here, but amount of ISPs (as in, competition) is important for good prices as well. Usually both location and competition go together.

10 years ago I was not living in capital of Poland and still I had better connection than any available in Warsaw ;p

Archi made me do it indirectly :doubt:
Also, this is about 10$

That ping too.. 2 ms lol and 300 Mbps download, not to mention the price... I want everything!
Comment has been collapsed.
As I'm reminiscing about my poor 400KB/s max internet, I was curious what other's have.
I'm also writing this as I wait for FFXIII to finish it's 3-4 day download straight lol.
55$ a Month for 2-3 Mbps RIP
