im gonna cry :(

jinx209

i run at 100mb speed pay 100 bucks a month on internet and this update file is gonna take me 8 hours ? it was only gonna take 45 minutes but than when it hit the 8gb marker the speed seriously nerfed and its like doing 1mb every 2 seconds idk what happened

Ace_of_Destiny

Pause it and restart it until it speeds back up.

jinx209

i cant tell if your being serious or not

Sithisvoid

Yes he's being serious it worked for me.

jinx209

i do that it goes up fast than it slows back down

I've done this many times on the PC as well - not sure why it works, but maybe disconnects and then reconnects to a less loaded server?

that actually works.

Is your internet with comcast? If so that 100mb is simply a wish. Remember also its mega bits per second. Not mega bytes. 8 bits to a byte so 100 mbps is 12.5 mega bytes per second. Thats if you are maxxed out. That never happens so you can take about 5-6 mega bytes per second off that. So now you are down to 5-6 mega bytes per second. If you are getting 1-2 from the game you arent doing too badly.

It works because your traffic after pause will get reprioritized on ISP router and you will get max bandwidth again. ISPs has throttling in place for torrent users and such. When you traffic rate drops down under some threshold you will be dropped from the router table for throttling and when next time you will increase the rate you will have again full speed until timeout will kick in again and will throttle you again... Etc, etc.

Also the Sony servers probably have a high load going on right now with all the new stuff being downloaded.

It's your ISP. To provide a slight correction to @vovus69 once you exceed a particular data download threshold as set by your provider (yours looks to be ~8 gigs), this mechanism is kicking in.

Comcast also has that "power boost" thing which makes the first part of a download faster than the rest.

Yep you are exactly right sir. You know how many times I need to explain that to people.

Athas24

I recommend taking a nap, maybe catching a sporting event or grabbing a beer with friends in the mean time. Come back after all that and Bam your done

Remember also the speed test results are skewed because of the power boost thingie I mentioned earlier.

john.dale.gunningb16_ESO

i got the first 6 gb in about 25 min and then it slowed down to 1mb about 5-10 seconds .... no amount of pausing etc is changing that.

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO

If you look also you will see when it says "applying" the speed goes up and when "downloading" the speed goes down. Thats because it isnt downloading the patch when it says applying even tho it shows a speed.

Wait, what!? $100 for a broadband connection? Trolls bones, what a smeggin' ripoff...
In my city 100mb is the very basic starter package and costs €9.99. You seriously need to move!

Hes probably American like me. We dont have that kind of option. 100mbps from comcast is $89.99 a month plus $10 for the cable modem rental.

Crazyfool768

Pause & un-pause brought my time from 36hrs too 72mins so keep trying hopefully not too long for you

DenMoria

It's okay. Come over here and I'll give you a hug and a cup of cocoa. It will be all right.

Agree - turn it off and restart. Works for me too.

Agreed. Unfortunately, in the States (and I'm assuming you're in GB since your using #'s instead of dollars), we're pretty much stuck with whatever you can get and Comcast or one of the other big cable companies are the only way to get decent speeds. That is until Google Fibre shows up and then, who knows. My Comcast inet is 79.99 per month and that's with the highest level of speed boost you can get and it still sucks.

Dern it! I need to move back home to London.

That's interesting, because I can, at the same time, download a 6GB file from another site and get "full bandwidth". I've also never experienced such behavior with any other downloads (including those with a "pause/resume"). Since this also seems to be common to a number of ESO users, I wonder if this is an ISP "close" to the ZOS servers, or even part of the datacenter that ZOS uses that is doing this?

Possibly it could be that ZOS is throttling connections so that bandwidth is spread more evenly across all people. I mean everyone on PS4 is slamming the servers at once.

Nah, UK uses £ (pounds). € is Euros and I'm from Latvia. Lived in the UK for 4 years though and even there the internet is very mediocre at best compared to rest of EU.
But damn. If these are the prices in USA then i feel sorry for ya guys. Charging those prices is just outright theft. Does the government not control the market, preventing them from robbing their customers blind?

Our government is controlled by the corporations. So the answer is no. In fact they make laws allowing for comcast to have exclusive rights to provide service to certain areas. So you have no other choice in most areas besides one cable provider.

Definitely cry, that makes everything better

Dang lol, so they are promoting monopoly instead of preventing it, making healthy competiton between companies nonexistent? That is so very bad from a business and economy standpoint. Here i thought the USA is the promised land where people are happy and looked after. And no, I'm not trolling, i didn't know that, honestly :S

It's always like that with the PSN.
