1 MB/s (Mega Byte per second) is equal to 8 Mbps (Mega bit per second). the 8 MB/s you got is ~64Mb/s, which is probably about as close as you’re gonna get to your max speed of 70.

Network speed is usually in Bits while almost everything else is in Bytes, which is why steam has changed the default, you can change it back in settings.

Wow I didn’t know this I thought I was paying fuck all for my internet and it was performing terrible. 

So if I have 1.5 gig speed and I’m getting 100MB/s is performing as it should be?
