Re: EA app download speed is too low

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*
