What cpu do you have? the single threaded speeds could be a bottleneck when downloading games?

So it's not just a steam issue. 11 MB/s is the same as 92 mbps. I'm sus that there is something in your pc that turns gigabit ethernet into 100 mbit ethernet.

Open control panel > network and Internet > Network and sharing center > and click the blue text next to Connections: What does it show as speed? I don't have gigabit internet, but it shows as 900+mbit

What do you get next to speed?

there is no Connections only (View network status and tasks, Connect to a network, View network computers and devices)

in this same window, click the driver tab, and make sure Value: is set to auto-negotiation. Otherwise, make sure the cable is securely plugged in as some of the data pins could be not plugged in and bottlenecking the speed..

i think i found the problem its the ethernet splitter it was capped at 100 because of that 

THANK you very much man finally
i have a last question do you maybe know a splitter that doesn't bottleneck the speed?

If you are running them over 10 meters, cat 7. Otherwise, get cat 6/cat6a
