I have heard people report it goes much slower than their normal connections allow but never this slow.
There was another post on the forums just now about high latency in game, could be they're having network issues right now.
@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver "Don't count on others for help. In the end each of us is in this alone. The survivors are those who know how to look out for themselves."
Fortunately 10 minutes or so after i posted this is finally picked up some speed. never broke 2mb a second though, so i'm greatful it was a small patch.
I think my virus scaner was interfering with the download. I use Avast if anyone is interested.
Avast does occasionally get in the way of downloads and updates. It isn't a bad idea to add the game and launcher (or just the whole game folder) to any antivirus, malware, or firewall feature as a safe or exception program. If you need these locations by default are as follows:
C:\ Program files x86 \ ZenimaxOnline \ Launcher \ Bethesda.net_Launcher.exe
C:\ Program files x86 \ ZenimaxOnline \ TheElderScrollsOnline \ game \ client \ eso.exe (or eso64.exe)
