Apex Legends eating up what little bandwidth i have

Hi, I moved to rural area pretty far from the nearest city, because of that my internet is really slow, and isp throttling my speeds doesnt help. For the past few months i have 100kb/s during the day and then 50mb/s during the night, which is obviously my isp scamming me, but i cant do anything about that now.

At the start of the game when all players drop and loot apex legends eats around 80/90kbs which is understable, but with my connection i cannot play for entire first 5minutes. Apex Legends is the first game ive encountered so far that uses more than 20kb/s and currently the only one i cant play because of my horrible connection.

I dont expect devs to do anything about it, because not many people nowadays have internet this terrible, but if theres anything I can do to make the first 5 minutes playable, please let me know.

TL:DR Very slow internet (100kb/s), game uses most of that, is there anything i can do?
