Hi obogo!
At first, download and install the latest version of Origin at www.origin.com/download (and make sure you have your Origin account ready as well).
If that doesn’t helped, close the origin client and go directly to you origin folder C:\Program Files\Origin Games. Run the origin.exe in this folder with a rightclick -> run as administrator.
Add BF3 and Origin to the exception list of your antivirus/firewall software. Launch a match with disabled software protection, just to verify if your software is blocking your application even while disabled (some programs running still from the background).
This worked out in the most cases, if not, try to deactivate your firewall/antivirus software and/or check the online ports of your connection:
TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 20000-20100, 22990, 17502, 42127
UDP: 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300
For specific instructions on how to open your ports, please visit http://www.portforward.com/ or contact your router manufacturer.
Please let us now, if this problem after this workaround still exist.

your suggestions are terrible just tried everything you said before i posted and nothing works. instead of insisting its your customers fault maybe you should just fix it.
in my experience, these can also cause stuttering or laggy gameplay...
1) an overheating CPU or GPU due to too much dust buildup. trying using compressed air to dust off your heatsinks.
2) lack of RAM. BF3 plays fine with 4GB RAM. but some newer games, like BF4, need 8GB RAM to avoid stuttering. [note that to use more than 4GB RAM, you will need a 64 bit Windows.]
- Please check to ensure that the Origin in game overlay is not enabled (it is enabled by default) as it is known to cause stuttering and lag issues. If it is enabled disable it, play BF3 and see if the problem persists.
To turn off Origin in game log into Origin, in the upper left hand corner click on the word "Origin" in the menu, and then click on "Application Settings". Next go to the "Origin in game" tab and uncheck the "enable Origin in game" box
