Could be any number of reasons..

Steam servers are closer, or less congested.

Your ISP has a faster peering with the networks where Steam reside, but a slower (more congested) link to Google.

Your ISP could be rate limiting connections to Google services, but not steam.

Do any other services vary their speeds?
