Another "leaving " post.

If you are saying it will take 20-30 hours then it is 100% your fault if better internet options are available in your area and you just simply did not choose it. You can't expect any company to cater to internet speeds that slow realistically.

Depends where you are. A lot of America is monopolised so they can charge astronomical rates for subpar service and Australian internet is on a level unto itself. Plenty parts of Australia where even 1mbps down is considered a luxury.

Exactly, don't assume that everyone has guaranteed access to superfast internet connections.

As for the OP, the patcher does remember where you left off downloading the patch files - it has to do a file check before then though which has to start from the beginning as a matter of course, but the actual file downloading and installation are saved so it will jump back to where it left off once the file check is complete. If it's not doing that, then there is something wrong with your system as that is not the normal behaviour for the patcher.

Have you made a post in the technical support section of the forums? You may be able to get helpful advice there. You really have nothing to lose by posting there so you may as well try it.

The last patch was 450MB if I remember right, and I spent an entire day just sitting staring at my modem.
This patch is 1.7GB and the estimated time was 20 to 30 hours. No Way.

This confuses me a tad. According to the forums you joined the forums in 2015, which means you have been playing the game for at least three years. The most recent patch is certainly not the first large patch we have had. How did you deal with the ones that came before?

I understand not everyone has access to fast internet. But if your internet speed takes 20-30 hours to even download a patch, how do you even play the game anyway?

Data transfer requirements for MMOs are actually not very high, so as long as you have a reliable connection, it doesn't necessarily have to be the fastest/have the biggest bandwidth.

If OP is having trouble with disconnects they may have done more solo content than grouped. And there are also those brave souls who keep trying to do it all regardless of the instability.

True. I tried playing it through my mobile phone connection once when my internet service was down. It took up surprisingly little data.

This is also true. I had Century Link and my speed was 7mb down and .6mb up on a good day and I never had any issue with connections. downloads and patches took forever though
