Try limiting the auto-update and set the from-to time as the same. I'm not sure if it'll work, but it's worth a shot.

Do you have a download limit set on your download?

perhaps you are being limited by your ISP? Have you tried a VPN?

VPN? ok i know what one is now but why would it help?

This will checks to see if your ISP is throttling you. VPN, virtual private network, created a tunnel between you and another network. Think of using your friends network without needing to be at his house.

 

If you are able to download AC4 using the VPN without your current issue of it dropping every 3 seconds, it maybe your ISP placing limits on your internet usage on steam downloads.

 

Note: I am in the United States so unfamiliar with how Australian ISPs function.
