That's the highest I've ever seen it at. Looks like they've gotten most of the HL1 & CS community sorted out, and are adding more and more content servers to prepare for the HL2 release.

If this is the case, and Steam is almost fixed, then hopefully we can expect a gone gold announcement any day now.

There's still a few numbers from the middle missing so it will get better.

Lets hope so.

I'd hate for Steam to be the reason for a HL2 delay.

At one point during the Beta it reached 2.5gbps.

I was there when that happened. No visible improvement or anything, not like there would be, but I can tell you I was not worried in the least bit about bandwidth.

why was that? they had 2.5 gbps of bandwidth and they didnt release anything at that time. then, they make steam official and have less that a gbps bandwidth

Content Servers are third party. Valve didn't just shut them down because they didn't need them, they will have backed out.
