Exit the EA App

Go to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop\legacyPM
Use notepad++ (search on google or follow video for another method)
Open EACore_App.ini

Add these in 2 lines:
EnvironmentName=production
CdnOverride=akamai

My Download speed almost quadrupled 5-6mbps to 19-20mbps

    This didn't work for me.  Download speeds are still soooo slow.  I have tried every single "fix" that I have found.  Nothing helps.
