Re: Slow Download Speeds on EA app

you give this solution. we try the solution. we end up in the same place. It doesn't work. never have this issue on steam, riot, epic games. I get between 500-600 Mbps on ookla and usually between 100-300 on steam or any other application but on EA, I get less than 200B/s. It downloads when I first launch the app for about 3 seconds and then just drops and drops until nothing. I am currently sat at around 250 KB/s which is higher than usual but still unacceptable. over 3 hours to download 7GB is awful. sort your servers out

    That's pretty bad, at least I'm getting a 9 Mbps download over a 1 Gb connection.  I don't even want to think about downloading ME Legendary at 250Kbps...  I have no problems with download speeds from anyone else.  Not sure what's going on there.

  • I thought i had the same issue, i was readding all these answers then it dawned on me.....

    1 megabyte (1MB) = 8 megabits (8Mb)

    1 gigabyte (1GB) = 8 gigabits (8Gb)

    so if i was getting 45 MB/s download with ea, its like getting 360 Mbps on steam. and so , there is no issue for must of us, we just needed to convert so that it doesnt seem like a small number. hahahahahah

    bigRED - I was fully ready to say that is not my case at all, but you are entirely right when it comes to my problem.  In today's internet connections I have a slow connection at 121 Mbps as shown below on Ookla speed test.

    Downloads from the EA app are not in Mbps (b = bits).  It is in MB/s or MBps.  In my case it was 14 MB/s.

      

    Here is the conversion

    That 14 MB/s (Mega Bytes per second)  is remarkably close to my connection speed of 121 Mb/s (Mega bits per second).

    You're funny. Do you work for ea? I have a 500 mbit speed connection and its means 62.5mb download speed per second. But Ea app's real speed is 4mb/s! if you look at the downloaded files on the status bar you see it. So that're ridiculous what you are saying. I think ea using us and our pc another things! like mining etc. 🤣

    Dude, please look at the instantaneous increase in downloaded file size when downloading a game! There is 14mb/s but the increased file size is only 2mb/s.

    For example, I have a 500mb connection speed and I can download 56-60mb files per second, that is, I can download a 6.5gb file in about 2 minutes, but with the same connection, my computer has been open for about 2.5 hours for the 11.5gb NFS game!!! So what you said is bull**bleep** 🤣
