Guest SoundOfDeath Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 My origin download speeds for BF3 Preload started at 7.5 MB/s It started dropping, about a minute later now and I still have 3 MB/s I pay for 18 megabit down. http://i56.tinypic.com/2hyz6us.png I've downloaded almost 700 MB in less then a minute and a half. Holding steady at 2.7 now, almost downloaded a GB in less then 5 minutes. How is this possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SoundOfDeath Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 If you pay for 10 megabits then you should be getting ~1 megabytes. If you pay for 10 megabytes then you should be paying for 100 megabits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RET.CDR.CrAzY_NuTtA=US= Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Just so everyone knows, the reason it works so fast is cause its on what EA call a cloud system. Similar to torrents, everyone whos downloaded it somehow makes other peoples downloads even faster. I read it on the EAUK forums, ZH1NT0 posted it so its legit. Pretty amazing system they got there, start of the future. EDIT: In my uni house i have 8mb internet, getting about 1.7 mb/s. At my university it has 35mb internet. Going to download it to my laptop on monday at uni, should be insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
