    You are lucky you are even getting 8MB/s... Mine has gone from 50MB/s down to 8MB/s then drops to 5KB/s. 

    A 6GB update on any platform (Steam, Epic, Rockstar, Battle.net, ubisoftConnect) Does not require 2 - 5 hours of downloading and certainly doesn't throttle at 5KB/s without server intervention. 

    I have had to reset my network adapter to achieve above 1MB/s on a Gigabit Fibre connection. Tested on WiFi6+ & Ethernet - Using normal DNS settings and Google DNS. Tested using a VPN. Tested on 2 devices and even phone tethering.

    Could you give us an explanation that isn't just repetitive/parroting the current "advice" on the help page?  
    Deleting the Cache - Results in deleting the downloaded files and setting your download back to 0% and may even make the speed issue worse.
    Other applications - Other than a firewall there are no other applications that should run that would limit another's downloading bandwidth unless already downloading or streaming.
    System File Checker - Really...?
    Updating Windows/CPU/GPU - I'm not evening going to go there…

    As a systems administrator/engineer some of the fixes you suggest are honestly insulting.
