Network design improvement opportunity here. They probably have different traffic types of requiring different levels of SLA using the same transit system.

Also, since the traffic is mostly outbound for updates, this is something that they could control with QoS.

Valve need a network engineer? I'm the net-eng for the the largest supercomputer cluster in the state of Arizona and I want to move to Seattle. =)
