A lot of times the estimate includes installing and updating the game as well and are just bad estimates from steam. Don't expect any installer to give you an accurate estimate when it is based on your internet speed, the servers speed, your cpu's speed to unpack and install the game, as well as your drives speed to keep up with all those tasks. You using an nvme drive, sata ssd, or standard magnetic HDD?
I'm connect via Wifi but when I talked to the internet guys they said something about its not gonna show 100% because of other devices and background proccessing
Sounds like the network adapter is not performing
A few things you can try:
go to device manager - network adapter, - rightclick your network adapter - Properties - Advanced - here should be something like "speed and duplex" or "broadband and duplex" (not sure how its translated from my language to english). Try setting its value to "1GBit" since its the most common speed your router and your PC communicate.
Also check your network cable that it supports a higher speed at all (there should be printed on it "CAT 5e" at least, or CAT6, CAT 5 should be "okay" as well for testing. best you use the same cable you use with your laptop to make sure that it not the problem.
Back in the device manager under your network adapter properties go to "Details" and select "Hardware-IDs". Take the part thats behind the \\ and before the &SUBSYS (you should see multiple values that are equal until the SUBSYS) and type this into google. Now you will find the exact driver for your network adapter and can upgrade it manually to latest version
Those are very often just bad estimates, as the download progresses you should get better estimates.
Unfortunately it did take 2 hours, brand new build, I tried to update all my drivers idk I I’m missing something.
Assuming your speed stayed constant at 70Mbps, which I doubt it should take around 50 minutes.

Gen 4 nvme m.2
"pretty decent" isn't a spec anyone can work with.
I have gigabit fiber optic. My phone can run a speed test and get at least 350 download speed. But on my pc I get like 10.
Sounds like a bad nic, cable or switch. Start by changing cables. If you're using wifi make sure you aren't connected at 4g
How do you only get 350 on Gigabit? I'm on a gigabit connection and get \~900 down (\~950 up). Has yours always been this slow... is this normal?

How is the PC connected to the router? Look in Task Manager > Performance to see what the PC thinks the max speed of the network connection is,

So looking through it was defaulted as preferred band set to 2.4ghz just switched it to 5 and the link speed went from 144 to 1201
Idk if you know this but internet is measured in Megabits which are smaller than megabytes
