I bought a new pc and am reinstalling the game. However my max speed is 3mb/s and wont go up. Firewall is allowing eso and no internet issues..anyone else experience this?

    DL is typically slow for ESO.

    Internet Prime Time a likely culprit.

    One thing that can happen is your initial connection can set the speed for the whole session. While usually, the speeds will go up as traffic allows, you can force the issue by stopping the download and restarting it.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    You also may find other things are updating in the background and hogging bandwidth. Did you update your operating system over and over until it said no updates available before starting the reinstall of ESO for example?

    Yep I did. Got everything installed before starting on games. It's a bit faster now than last night. Didn't know prime times affected launcher download speed o.O

    If you think that is slow you should see how slow updating swtor is using the infamous bitraider launcher.

    Eso has always been fine to update.

    I left it on all night and it had moved to 10% only so yes I think that is slow :persevere:

    This morning it suddenly jumped from 12% to 70% and then to finished

    Glad to hear it finally finished for you. That's really odd. Must be some sort of issue at your end otherwise we would probably be getting flooded with similar complaints from other players.
