Steam downloads unusually slow since speed upgrade.

I live in the Philadelphia area and recently Comcast has upgraded my blast speeds of 50Mbps to 120Mbps. 
 
I've tested my speed with multiple speed tests to confirm this

However, since this upgrade my Steam downloads (I've tested a few local steam servers including the D.C. Comcast server) with poorer then usual download speeds.  When I had 50Mbps I would get a steady 6.9MBps.  Now with the upgraded 120Mbps I'm getting fluctuating speeds between 4.6MBps and 5MBsp instead of close to 15MBps.  This is really odd.  I tested out Blizzards Battle.net client and I'm getting 15MBps with them.  That seems to be working fine.  Why would my Steam downloads actually become worse with this upgrade? 
 
I've bypassed my router and tested steam download speeds and have gotten the same slow results.  As far as I can tell this has been going on for the past week or so (since getting the upgrade).  I can't find anyone else talking about slow steam download speeds at the moment so I'm not positive it's a problem on Valves end. 
 
Anyone else experiencing similar issues with Steam?
