I am currently downloading Future Soldier in Steam but the download speed is just terrible. It is like 50 KBps roughly.
I have a 2 Mbps connection and I easily get 200~250 KBps download speed in torrents and other downloads.

Why on earth is Steam download so slow? There is also very limited option to customize the download potential.

Please help me.

You have something wrong with your network or service. Same reason on your utorrent thread. I think you should contact your ISP.
