Steam can vary a lot. Make sure you choose to download from the servers nearest to you though, that helps a lot.

100 millibits per second? I think 900 baud modems were faster.

Depending on the download, some of that time may also be spent doing the actual disc-writing part.

You could try resetting the modem or router.

I wasn't even being a smartass but ok. Steam measures downloads in MBps and the internet provider measures their speed in Mbps. That's one reason. Also depends how far you are from the router.
