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?

    Current Netcode is *, not much we can do.

    And No, the update didn't fix it.

  • No one cares for our problem because its EA game and its a free to play so they obligate us to pay using our data.I don't think we will get solution in this life.they will tell us useless things to do and check to confuse us but won't give a solution and they will tell and ask us useless questions instead of telling how to control bandwidth usage of apex legend.my apex uses 2 mbps data and ping is over 300 I die in every game at start due to ping problem.i will leave this game and play fortnite or pubg they use only 15-20kbps of data. Thanks EA for giving us such costly game for free with such a huge problem for budget gamers.
