(Our biggest download speed increase came from connecting from the UK to a US VPN server.) Also, a VPN allows you to connect to multiple servers in different countries so you can test different ones until you find the optimal speed. We managed to increase speeds by up to 400% in our tests.įirstly a VPN bypasses any traffic shaping or throttling by your ISP and secondly by connecting to a fast VPN server can mean that Origin switches you to it’s fastest download servers. A couple of savvy users have mentioned trying a VPN and we’ve done some testing that backs this up as a possible solution.
When the mods do respond they typically blame your ISP, network hardware, software environment or connection speed which could well be true but doesn’t help much. ‘I’m going on holiday for a week, so hopefully it will have downloaded by the time I get back’ was one desperate comment we spotted this week. The forums are awash with people tearing their hair out over ridiculously slow download speeds for games on Origin. Are you struggling to download the latest instalment of Battlefield or having a crisis with Crysis? You’re not alone…
