Hello!
I have searched for this problem everywhere but I can't see a working result!
So my steam downloads games VERY slow no matter what, look at my internet speed in speedtest:

and here's the steam download:

No other software are open, a help would be very much appreciated!
 
Damn...that's some serious bandwith.

OT, that's odd indeed. Did your ping to any other site going fine? Download speed to any other site work accordingly to your speed? Did you use routerboard? If none of that were not the problem, there might be some firewall policy issue. Try set your firewall to lowest setting possible to none.
If the problem persist after all that, it might simply lies with the Steam server itself.
 
I tested like 3 websites and all are like 40-50. I don't get the internet from my modem, I share it from my cellular with usb cable. This shouldn't be a problem if I download anything via browser it's the real speed. So something is wrong with steam // firewall blocking?
 


no that's just the speed you get to those particular sites. A fast connection to one place on the internet does not a fast connection to another place on the internet make. Frankly I would assume that the connection to the steam download servers are throttled by a cellular ISP by default.
 
So it's by tethering? Wireless stuff are beyond me since I never did that. But from the looks of it, your conclusion might be true.

Then again, did you actually lower your firewall settings?

Also try to turn off QoS Packet Scheduler. Those thing usually mess something up aside from firewall.
