Dude, you are either lying or being mislead.  I have a 150Mbps connection, and am D/L from Origin at 5.5MBps.  Origin and EA provide terrible service.

you sure you dont use wifi ? 5.5MBps. is exatly that.
i doubt you did made that mistake, but who knows mistake can happend.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The speed of a Wi-Fi wireless network connection depends on several factors. Like most types of computer networks, Wi-Fi supports varying levels of performance, depending on the technology standard.

Wi-Fi standards are certified by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Each Wi-Fi standard is rated according to its maximum theoretical network bandwidth. However, the performance of Wi-Fi networks doesn't match these theoretical maximums.

Theoretical vs. Actual Network Speeds
An 802.11b network typically operates no faster than about 50 percent of its theoretical peak, around 5.5 Mbps. 802.11a and 802.11g networks usually run no faster than 20 Mbps. Even though 802.11n rates at 600 Mbps compared to wired Fast Ethernet at 100 Mbps, the Ethernet connection can often outperform 802.11n in real-world usage. However, Wi-Fi performance continues to improve with each new generation of the technology.

Here's a Wi-Fi speed chart that compares the actual and theoretical speeds of most current Wi-Fi networks:

Theoretical Actual
802.11b 11 Mbps 5.5 Mbps
802.11a 54 Mbps 20 Mbps
802.11g 54 Mbps 20 Mbps
802.11n 600 Mbps 100 Mbps
802.11ac 1,300 Mbps 200 Mbps

Are you paid by EA?

 

This is the worst example of support i have seen in a week.

 

Are you an intern?  I can see unpaid labour bring this obtuse.

Making an exception in the windows firewall worked for me. D/L went from 220 kbits/s to 30 Mbits/s.

Thanks, right now my download speed in south africa increased almost 4x with that config file change.

 

I do think i tried this in the past with not much of a change after restarting origin...

 

but right now my downloads are faster! thanks

Just to help beat the dead horse...

I'm on a Gigabit Fiber connection. Download speeds in Origin rarely go above 6Mb/sec. Pretty sad. I tried both the .ini change and setting my DNS to Google. No real improvement.
