Patch downloading EXTREMLY slow. Less than 20mbps

I have tried clearing my steam download cache (which inadvertently wiped my download progress which was 61%)

I have change regions several times

I have restarted my PC

I have 900gigs of space on my SSD

I have no other games open

At its current rate on 16 Mbps I will have the patch ready to go in almost 6 hours.

I also did a speed test (I have fiber internet) and it came back almost perfect.

Kind of annoyed because I took off work for this lol.

Is there any solution for this?

Edit* Last ditch effort, I saw something on steam about uninstalling and re-installing that game from scratch and now its even more bricked LOL. Estimated time to DL is 23 hours. Enjoy the launch exiles!

Edit**
Changing my network adapter (ethernet) in the Advanced section from Auto-negotiation - Max download speed...then changed steams region to something local in my state and I am now re-dling the entire game at 900mbps. That seems to have completely fixed the issue.
