I hardly ever use Steam for games... but I had a chance to try out some new MMO's today.

Sooo, I started downloading DC Universe, aaand at the highest peak it was 5.5mb/s, and 3.7mb/s on a regular dl speed.

Is it good for Steam? Or not?
Game has 20gb, It feels like forever to download....though it's not that bad.

What's ur speed?
Higher? Lower?

Ranges from 1.9MB to 2.1MB... pretty average speed for a 24Mb connection. I plan on getting a fiber optic connection from Virgin since games are doubling in size from 5-6GB to 10-12GB's so I'm going to need my Steam speed to be at least 6MB download speed.

I can't complain about Steam downloading speed. I get around 2 MB, which is good enough for a 20 Mb connection.

yea, I have 100mb/s and they say it's the fastest connection in my country, on speedtest net I had 94mb/s DL and ~40mb/s UL.

But... speed is dependant on what and where I'm downloadin files from...

EDIT:
O' Dear...

It's always been pretty fast for me. Certainly one of the fastest platforms I've used at least.

It all depends on traffic and servers, but I've been getting double the usual speed this year, even on sales, 6-10mb.

Yeah this university has like the fastest net in southern hemisphere or something crazy like that I think. Earlier this year I speed tested at 400mb/s and can get 30mb/s downloading off Origin. Once you use 200mb in a day they cap your speed, so what you're seeing on the speed test is the capped speed :P I will try and do a speed test tomorrow before I use 200mb and see if I can get 400 again.

I get anywhere from 90-300 kbps. If the game isn't very graphics intensive ill just walk a few hundred feet with my laptop to one of the buildings on campus and get 11mbps.

Managed to get this uncapped, although it varies on how many students are using the internet I think.

Hangs around between 1.4 - 1.8 mb/s, but can spike close to 3.0 occasionally.

What's important is the B, not the m unless you download in meter bytes

this post explains the problem:

On average, I get around 4-4.5mb/s and my DL speed is around 45mb/s.

Since upgrading my internet to the entry level fiber optic service, I see no less than 3.5MB/s for Steam. I've hit 4.0MB on Origin though. Even if mine is slow compared to some of yours, me being able to download 3 games at once on Steam and have them finish in less than an hour is great. Couldn't be any happier. Well, ya I could actually. My upload is BALLS, and that sucks for my youtube channel.

My downloads never really go much higher than 500kb/s. My broadband isn't the fastest. I used to have 20mb broadband but even then Steam would only download at around 2MB/s.

It peaks at 10 mb per sec, usually 4-5, but this is the problem when the servers are busy

I wish I had 1/5th of yours.  Its a fast as I can buy without either spending too much or moving to a different location.
