For now, 25 Mbps is a fairly outdated definition, especially when you apply this definition to households containing more than one person (which is most households). Clearly they just don't quite have enough.Currently, the FCC defines high-speed internet as 25 Mbps, but they are lobbying to increase that to 100 Mbps. It requires a lot of bandwidth to serve however many concurrent players they have across all platforrms. It's literally just their download servers being slow. Good luck with your non-solutions to a problem that could probably be solved were you willing to look into it! The something else could be SE having overloaded servers, or making me download the game from a different continent.

There is a problem with the download, It's normal to get lower than advertised speeds but here we're talking nearly 1% of my real speed, not my ISP at fault since everything else works correctly. I never said SE was limiting my speeds, I was asking if there was a speed cap setting which most other game/MMO/Whatever launchers have, not a crazy scheme i'm inventing here. If it's not your ISP, it's not your ISP, but it is *something*, and that something is not SE limiting download speeds.

Not sure why that would imply my connection being faulty Originally posted by Not mun:I have no issue downloading ANY other game on steam or anywhere else, FFXIV is the only problematic one. Your problem is likely solvable, but not if you insist that it's something like this. If you want an ACTUAL solution, you need to do a bit more troubleshooting, rather than assuming it's this.

Okay, but.do you really think SE is limiting your traffic in particular? I'm not calling you a liar, but what I am telling you is that other people are not reporting this problem that **everyone would have** were it a case of SE limiting speeds. I have no issue downloading ANY other game on steam or anywhere else, FFXIV is the only problematic one. That's why they're telling you it's not SE. Have you contacted your ISP? It's not on SE end I get a significantly better download speed than that, as do other posters.
