Steam has very slow downloads, around 1 megabyte per second.

How can I fix really slow download speed? Usually my internet was around 10MB/s, but recently it has just gotten slower to 1MB/s without any warning. One thing that happened is when downloading game on Steam like Team Fortress 2 (which is about 20 GB), it used to take me about half an hour before I finished. Now it takes almost three hours and forty four minutes!
Sorry for the late reply, I tried almost everything on my computer but nothing worked then when the troubleshooter said that message I unplugged and rewired the part of the cable going into the router and now it is fixed! On speedtest I get about 94Mb/s which means about 7MB/s. Thank goodness it worked because if it didn't I would have had to buy a new ethernet cable.
It might take a while because we are having special winter deals right now, and everyone is trying to get all their stuff downloaded before the holiday arrives.
It's been happening a long time but I'm not sure that's what causes it
