same here.
I try to update F1 24 at the moment.
My download speed range in EA APP is 200kb/s - 350kb/s.
Just a nightmare.
In Steam, Epic or other luncher i load with 10-12mbit/s15 to 400 kb/s here...tried every solution i found online and nothing worked.
These must be the slowest servers in the world. Tried updating SWGOH on my desktop. Connection problems, disconnects halfway through downloading assets and game features and so on. Then read in another forum post the EA advise is to turn of all, literally all background programs on your PC. Never laughed so hard. My download speed is 500mb-750mB per second. Fiber optic internet here. No problems on any other gaming platforms or apps, not even on Steam. So the problem lies with EA and no one else.

I've been trying to download Jedi: Fallen Order for two days now and have had no success.
I've followed every possible solution I could find on forums and Reddit, but nothing has worked. Initially, the download speed starts at around 2 MB/s for 20–30 seconds, but then it drops drastically to just a few KB/s. Most of the time, it's stuck between 60 and 110 KB/s.
After contacting a helpful person through the support service and exhausting all options we could think of, I'm now turning here for help. I really don’t want to wait 8 days to download a 50 GB game.
what the problem is this app?
Connection is working completely fine otherwise obviously.
Plenty of info in the now closed 37-page thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Slow-Download-Speeds-on-EA-app/m-p/14275687#M15761
The "suggestions" in the linked information document are more akin to an insult.
I was trying to update Battlefield 2042 and the download speed was horrendously slow. So, I went into Apps in Windows settings and chose to uninstall the EA app. It then gave an option to Repair. So, I chose that and the app went through the process and had to download files, which was still extremely slow. After the repair finished and after several restarts of the app, I was able to complete the game update at my normal fast download rates. I hope this works for you and anyone else experiencing this ridiculousness. Best of luck!!
- Awfully slow is not really a good description; even the "solution" is kind of an bad excuse because of CDNs.
According to procmon, there's a peak of 167kB a second but lingers around 20-40kb/s. This remembers me of my old 64k-modem, which was faster.
In contrast the Ookla Speedtest, which from my entry point Frankfurt to the US Westcoast, shows an average speed of 268.4 Mbps per second. getting from bits to bytes, this means 33.5 MByte/s peerage, and at most 180 kByte/s speed. It is just a matter of using 0.5% of the available bandwith or in other terms at best it take 200 times more than possible.
*Sigh* Already tried network reset, tried clearing cache, tried the .ini tweak a lot say fixes it nothing has worked. I have 0.5 gigabit, so it is going around 1/5 of my internet speed.
Hello,
I have a 2 Gbit fiber connection internet, 2000 Mbit/s, which usually downloads games on Steam/Riot at a speed of 230-250 MegaBYTES per second.
I installed EA App, ran it as administrator, and can not get it to download faster than 7MB/s (around 60Mbits per second).
I tried all the mentioned solutions in other threads,forums, youtube videos, nothing helped.
But an even bigger issue is this:
The EA App actually throttles my internet connection as soon as it starts downloading.
For example, in speed test I will do a test and it will be aforementioned 2000 Mbits/s
However, as soon as I start the EA App download of Battlefield 1, my actual internet speed goes all the way down to 60-120 Mbit/s range!
I can even start a speed test, it will hover around 2000 mbit, at the same time I start the download process, and in the test the speed falls all the way down.
Something is very broken with the EA App because it hijacks the internet speed completely.
What is going on?
