Sims taking forever to "download"

Hi, I have seen a lot of people having trouble with the download, I have some questions.
1. My internet is good, so why is it so slow?
2. After paying $70 why do we also have to pay for data to download it? As it's also used all my data,
3. How can I make it download faster?
4. Is there any other way of installing without having to download it and waste my data?

    • Does it move at all or is it stalled ?
    • If you bought the download version, the cost for downloading depend on your data plan. That's nothing EA has in it's hand. 
    • You can try pausing the download and restarting. That sometimes makes it go faster
    • Not if you bought the download version. If you buy the disc one, you can install it from disc.You can try if you can still get a refund for the download version and then buy the disc one in a store.

    I was going to purchase the expansion packs for Sims 4 but I'm not sure I want to since I have to go through online everytime I want to play.  I have a computer in the back room that the internet connection is just not that good.  Everytime I try to play Sims 4, I have to go through this bullcrap of Origin.  Can someone tell me if there is some way to play without Origin.  If not, I think I'm done with the Sims 4.

    Don't bother buying it in the store.  You are still going to have to update through Origin everytime you turn around.  I'm sick of Origin.

    No, there's no legal way to play without Origin.

    This is how it works for all EA Games and a lot of games are online only nowadays.
