Connection Drops Dramatically When Downloading!

[Diego_Torrealba]

I have a wired connection that gives about 9 ping, 500-700 download speed, and 50 upload speed according to speedtest.net. But whenever I start downloading any games from steam, my connection immediately drops to 20-100 kbps! I don't know what to do or if it has to do with the drivers and I need help Immediately. I sue to have a usb adapter before I went Ethernet.

that's normal...Whenever you download anything on the internet especially games, it uses a lot of your bandwidth and increases your ping

 

If you want to play games without lag, disable the download/update and enable it only when you are doing something that high ping won't matter

Try to reboot your router? Also, perhaps update your lan drivers. Strange issue. Is it repeatable? Have you tried to reboot?

Good luck!
