Steam completely kills my internet... why?

Normally that kind of hit would happen if your entire library decided to start updating all at once without permission. You can set that sort of thing to manual.

If it is fucking your internet without actually updating/downloading anything at all, then something more sinister is going on outside of Steam's basic programming. Could be your ISP hates steam and is giving you the middle finger, which is unlikely but possible, or you have some kind of extreme spyware or virus issue that is is sending incredible amounts of data to somebody every time you turn on steam.
