Why is steam's peak download at 44,525,640 mb/s but its only at 500-750 kb/s?

Well the topic pretty much says itfuzion50

your connection maybe?

there is nothing wrong with steam

I always download from steam at least 1.1 MB/sec, it's not a problem with steam, it's either with your PC or your connection.mfp16

Because you don't have a 44,525,640 mb/s connection

and there is your problem.

you would need to buy a heavy duty fiber optic government run super network to have speeds reach anywhere near the peak.

I mean people would drool if they could get a 10gb/s speed and thats still not even reaching that peak by a long shot. Point is no one can download at steams peak because the tpy of network connection required to do so doesnt exhist to be purchased. If it could though, that would be the peak steam could put out for it.

I bought the Uverse package, the home phone, internet, and cable pacakge. They give you a router and new cable boxes. There are a number of diferent internet service packages you can choose from them, their top out is at 6mb/s though. here is a link

Your actual speed is good, you're maxing your download speed.DanielDust

500-750kbps...so about 60-100 kBps. It's your internet, there's no other explanation.

ok thanks everyone i thought the peak was just me not everyonefuzion50

No the peak is the max bandwidth Steam is able to put out - To everyone - All at once...

Your own connection determines your download speeds... And your connection is 3.73mbps... Which means the fastest download you can perform is 466KB/s (3.73 megabits per second divided by 8 bits per byte, or 466,000 bytes per second)...

My download speed is pathetic 285KB/s

Going to change the isp i have as they have always been pretty bad for what i am supose to be getting. Which is up to 8 mb

Whenever I see someone has at&t as their service provider I think of really crappy internet. Is this just me?SLUSHiNaToR

My internet speed is 34-38 mb/s but I cap out at 1.3 mb/s for Steam downloads. Even then, I rarely get that download speed. It usually hangs around 700-800kbps. Some days it's worse, some days, it's better. Depends on the number of people downloading too, I guess?

I used to have AT&T, they are by far the WORST provider for any service. They claim their prices are low, but they were sneakily charging my house $50 a month for 1mbit/s speeds, which is a downlaod rate of about 35kb/s. Finally switched to cable, and check out the new speed....for $45 a month

and here's me downloading from steam

Must be something wrong on my end then... huh? I'm only getting 1.3 mb/s max. What could be the reason? Perhaps it's my location? I'm in southern California. My speed is 34-38 mb/s.

My test :D

I get 128 Sometimes:D.

44,525,640 mb/s? I've never heard of a connection this fast... is this even possible? If it was, you would be downloadinghuge files within minutes.

I feel sorry for anyone who actually takes this thread seriously.

why is this the 44,525,640 post about problems with steam on Gamespot forums when we can't do a thing to fix steam?
