Can you try the following steps please:
- Disable all background programs on your system (including Steam). You can also do this with a clean boot
- Temporarily disconnect all other devices that you don't need from your network
- Use a wired connection
- Make sure Origin is accepted in your anti-virus and firewall
- You can also try using Safe Mode Downloading via Origin which is under Application Settings, Advanced
