Up until the last week or so iv never once had a problem with steam downloads. Always maxed out at 6-7mb/s (im on 80/20 FTTP) but now (as i speak) i cannot download more than 400-600kb/s. Doesnt matter what time of day it just wont budge. I did a speedtest and it was fine and downloads from other places are fine just steam. I know it may be busy but iv tried several times and its always the same. Iv made sure the correct ports are forwarded on my router etc. Am i being throttled? Its a real pain in the ass when im supposed to be on SUPERFAST fibre.
Any help guys?

Just out of interest, are you using the closest content server to download from? It should show somewhere in your download settings.

using UK-London, iv tried Manchester aswell, little to no difference. Iv just logged into steam again. And its doing the same thing.
heres a screen

EDIT:
just after 11pm now and went to download something else. It went straight upto 4.2mb/s then almost immediately dropped and now wont budge from 50-100kb/s
what is wrong? this is really annoying.
