download speeds are throttled [ Edited ]

[Zarestal]

Many users are experiencing download speeds that are a miserable 1%-3% of our ISP speeds. The classic EA reply of its a problem on your ends is simply not the case, I assure you. This is not an issue with my network, my ISP or my settings. Origin is the ONLY platform I experience theses issues with. All others will run 50mbs on the low end or 200mbs+ on average.

If you are seeing slower speeds @Zarestal then can you try the following steps please:

• Disable all background programs on your system (including Steam). You can also do this with a clean boot
• Temporarily disconnect all other devices that you don't need from your network
• Use a wired connection
• Make sure Origin is accepted in your anti-virus and firewall

Really cute that you're still spewing this nonsensical, mythical solution around even after what, 4 years? EA throttles your speeds, its happened for almost everyone. Nothing anyone can do about it except hope that speeds are magically unthrottled one day.
