I was playing a game not from Origin/EA Desktop and had huge lags. I thought it was my internet connection messing up but eventually I checked task manager and saw the EA desktop app running in the background (despite me not opening it in a few days) consuming 30 MBPS of bandwidth thus causing huge lag in game.
