Make sure your internet ain't the bottleneck! Pause any other downloads or streams you have going on. It's like telling your siblings to get off the phone line back in the dial-up days; your Steam downloads need all the internet they can get to speed things up.
Steam's download speeds are fine. If you're having issues, it's probably your own internet connection. Check your setup before blaming the platform.
One quick trick is to change your Steam download region to a less busy server. You can do this in the Steam settings under 'Downloads' > 'Download Region'. Pick a region close to you but maybe not the most obvious choice. Off-peak hours work wonders too, so try downloading late at night or early in the morning when fewer people are hogging the bandwidth.
