@EA_Darko Any update on the throttling?
It seems pretty obvious from the evidence presented here and my own experience that under certain situations the client and/or servers throttle downloads.
Can we get some honesty on what is happening? At least a truthful explanation as to the conditions that lead to it, and how long we can expect to wait for issues to be resolved with this?
It's quite frustrating to be a premier access member and not be able to play games because patches are taking hours to download even on 1GBPS connection, that clearly is having no problems with any other service.
More to the point, it's obvious that my experience mirrors that of dozens of complaints here, where it was going along at an expected rate for my connection for the first 80% of the patch, then dropped to something like 500kb/s whilst the connection is still fine. Putting it in safe-mode now has the throttling moving between 3mbps-15mbps. Which is a moderate improvement, but crazy given how Steam, Netflix and speed tests are performing on this connection.
Multiple restarts of the client and the machine don't help. Though firewall rules are set correctly, that seems very unlikely to be the issue because it was working fine for a long period of time, why did it suddenly get bad? That isn't an open/close setting in a firewall, that is a problem along the connection.
It seems ridiculous to deny that this is happening at the Origin end given the 17 pages of evidence provided by different people, with different connections, and different setups all experiencing a problem that seems to only occur with Origin for them on their system.
I can believe this is a bug and not anything nefarious, but please be honest about the expected resolution of it and admitting to the problem, rather than pointing at causes that are clearly not the cause.
