Updates as slow as snails

I'm sorry but this is not an issue with my PC or my internet connection. I run full gigabit internet, I have a network card capable of handling those speeds. Yet, when I come to the EA app everything runs like it's stuck in molasses. Updates run so slow I feel like I'm trying to download a movie in 1997 on dial-up internet again. No other launcher does this, or has this problem at all. Then even worse when it goes to verify the files of the game after download to make sure nothing broke. It's going even slower and I know for a fact the drive I'm saving it too can read and verify files way faster than 1GB/minute. I'm sorry but what is wrong with this company? They had issues with Apex servers lagging out and other issues. I've seen people having download speed issues dated back months, and even longer. What is going on? Also, I have done ALL of the "having trouble with downloads?" troubleshooting steps I could find. It changes nothing. So can somebody like investigate this on the company end or will I just end up like so many others in more recent times... unanswered and left out in the cold? Because I'm sure there are many people who don't play any EA games or titles or have played once and never come back again because of this and many other issues.
