Have you tried limiting the download speed?
This. Link instability and packet loss is common when the link is being utilized to its max theoretical capacity, as opposed to your ISP having a soft bandwidth cap.
Cap your download speed in steam settings 20% lower than your max download speed (possibly lower) to give the link layer some breathing room.

I tried throttling it down to 1/3 of my max and still had the same problem
