    12 replies, posted
Hello I am recently experiencing very slow download speeds all most capped to 50 kbs. I can download other things just fine at a speed of 1 mbs but i steam is just going really slow. Last week it was going fine so is there any suggestions on how to go around this problem?
Did you try changing your download server?
[QUOTE=The Chef;20317903]Did you try changing your download server?[/QUOTE] Yeah and i also tried downloading my download location and reserting my router, trying a new internet cable. This only started this week, last week it was fine but it does this on and off. I woul dlike to know what is doing it. I am also running Windows XP.
does your ISP restrict your internet speed if you have downloaded a certain amount of GB?

Who's your ISP?
[QUOTE=1solidsnake2;20328054]Who's your ISP?[/QUOTE] Virgin. When i start the download on steam it begins at a highspeed but it drops rapidly.
Virgin? Like the cellular company? You're not going to get high speed internet through that BLAZINGLY slow 3g.
try several locations with [url]http://speedtest.net[/url] and see if its your connection or not.
Virgin throttle speeds if you download a certain amount of data during peak times. I think it applies to the unlimited plan too.
oh wow that sucks! Glad I don't have Virgin... So.. you don't get what you pay for?
Well there are certain peak times but i dont know why they would cut down my steam download speeds.
