Summarize your bug Slow download speeds only on my computer and not my friends (He's at my house)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open origin, download a game, look at the speed it is downloading at.
What happens when the bug occurs? The download speeds are limited to 12.5 Mb/s
What do you expect to see? I expect to see a download of 60Mb/s + since I have a 1000Mbp/s download speed.

My download speeds were stuck at 1.45Mb/s even though I have a 1000Mbp/s line, I created that EACore.ini file so origin launches in R&D Mode, and the speeds were bumped up to 12Mb/s. My friends are at my house and their pc's download at 80Mb/s. I also did a clean boot which made no difference to the download speeds, and Im downloading to a 1Tb nvme ssd drive.

I've bought new kat 6 ethernet cables, updated my bios and utilities, I've switched router ports and our ethernet cables. The only thing I could see it being is an issue with my firewall or a microsoft application limiting it, or maybe even a bios setting that I have no idea about.

My motherboard: ROG Crosshair VIII hero (WiFi)  If that helps
