First off, make sure you’re not streaming 4K Netflix in another tab, that’ll hog all your bandwidth. Also, check Steam settings under Downloads; pick a server close to you for better speeds. Sometimes, limiting the download speed to a bit less than your total internet speed helps too, because it avoids bottlenecking.

Look, just download at night. Servers are less crowded, and you’ll wake up to a new game ready to play. It's like Christmas!

Check your firewall or antivirus isn’t messing with Steam. Had a buddy almost toss his router out the window before realizing his antivirus was the speedbump the whole time.
