Super Slow Broad Band Speed
Hello, I have been having some major issues with downloading speeds. I'm currently getting 500 KB/s when I usually get 5 MB/s.
I've seen similar posts to what I'm currently experiencing so I'm going to ask for the same help.
if anyone can process this information and help out what is happening to my internet, it will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Super Slow Broad Band Speed
Here are my results.
Today seems to be a good day as I'm reinstalling apex and I'm averaging 4-5 MB/s on steam, but last night I was getting 500 KB/s.

Re: Super Slow Broad Band Speed
I wonder if you are getting confused between MB/s and Mb/s. Your speeds as you reported are spot on. 4-5MB/s = 32-40 Mb/s.
Internet speeds are expessed in bits/second. Downloads in Bytes/second. There are 8 bits in a Byte.
As regards steam do you know the sever load at the time? It is not an indicator of your connection speeds at all.
