So, what can be a problem?
Windows settings? Steam?

Hello, it is mainly problem in the game. The problem is largely magnified if server has set maximum upload speed, or if there is big packet loss on your network (e.g. playing over WiFi)
In next update we will add Steam Networking support, so this issue should be solved by that.

I am host and setting up 40`000 does nothing.
Speed exactly 16kbit/sec no more. Looks like that is artificial restriction.
Is there some ways to remove that?
16kbit toooo slow...

It is not artificial limitation. It is problem in the networking code. Client is not getting packets in rate it is expecting and is flooding server with requests to resend. (I am not sure if this is exact issue you are experiencing, I just know this issue exists)
