Throttling internet speeds?

Does EA throttle your internet speeds i pay for 1200 mbps and its showing im getting 100 mbps that is absolutely ridiculous. This is why i use steam, but i cant play it through steam with console players so i have to use yalls trash **bleep** app

  • Hi 22oSS​

    A 1200 Mbps connection translates to around 150 MB/s, so reaching 113 MB/s is actually quite good and not far off the maximum potential speed.

    There are several reasons why you might not be seeing the full 150 MB/s in the EA app, such as:

    • Network overhead: Some bandwidth is always used for background processes and managing the connection itself.
    • Local network factors: Things like Wi-Fi signal strength, network congestion, or even running other devices can slightly lower your download speed.
    • Storage performance: If your drive can't write fast enough (especially older HDDs), it can bottleneck downloads.

    Overall, 113 MB/s is a strong result and well within the range you'd expect from a 1200 Mbps connection!

    Please also check my thread,

    EA is actually limiting the internet speed of users while they start the download, artificially reducing the download speed and blaming other factors.
