I'm getting incredibly slow download speeds in Origin on a 2 degrees fiber connection, usually no more than 500 kb/s. In steam and Uplay I get the max 12-13 mb/s rate for my connection. This is well complained about issue with Origin with no fix in over a year: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin-Client-Web-Technical/why-are-the-download-speeds-extremely-slow-on-origin/td-p/6319970 Could this be an ISP issue? I switched to 2 degrees just 2 months ago. I can't recall the Origin speeds I had with Spark VDSL but I'm certain it was mb/s and not kb/s.

Getting 2-3MB/s with ISP DNS servers. That's about the speed I had with VDSL not the 12 MB/s this fiber connection should provide. Any idea what else the bottleneck might be?

 

That is just Origin... It is a piece of .....

 

I used this to fix it on my end (and can confirm it works): https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Store:Origin#Origin_stops_downloading_after_an_ungiven_threshold
