People discussing long download times...i have a pretty normal internet connection (or so I thought?) my download only took 8 minutes.

I only had the time to see it was going at 15mbps+ and then it was done.

UK doesn't exactly have the best internet but discussions like the ones in this thread really make me wonder why the standard is so low in other countries.

Well, in my case, I live in a very small town with a small population. We only have five total ISPs in the area, the other 4 provide internet through Dish network. The one we currently have provides Dish as well, but we're using DSL because it bundles our phone bill and internet bill into one package. So they can dictate the speed of their internet as they see fit, and by god is it awful.

I guess your in the USA? I have e-friends over there and i've discussed this with them before, I got the impression there's little choice over there in the US so the bigger companies can pretty much get away with charging people for sub standard internet services.

You're exactly right on that. There are choices, but bigger companies charge you for shittier service. I was lucky to have cable before I moved and had about the same speeds you did, and it was considered heaven for me.

I read your estimated time and I don't really understand why it would take SOOOOO much longer? Since the patch is already completed wtf are they doing. I'm sure it's testing etc. just let the players do that. If something goes horribly wrong they can always take it down and be like "oops my bad"

They're also updating their servers, which takes a good deal of time.

I think the last "oops my bad" was Version 1.0 and I'm pretty sure the developers want anything remotely close to that again. Give the developers props in that they have completely turned around the perception of the game throughout the gaming world. I can't blame them for wanting it to be right the first time they release the patch.
