I didn’t get the screenshot off, but I had it say 200 BYTES per second. But yeah im ranging from 20KB-100 KB per second. Only for about 10-20seconds was I doing anything like 5-10mb/s. Basically frozen at 51%.

Meanwhile all the streamer boys were well and through within minutes of this new bull patch.

Everytime I come back to a Blizzard game some dumb decisionlike this happens and leaves a constant bad taste in my mouth.

Hey everyone,

Just chiming in to let you know we are aware of this and at the moment do not have any specific troubleshooting we can recommend. We are currently investigating the issue however and any updates or recommendations we get will be posted here.

Probably because everyone is downloading the patch at once. Imagine that. :stuck_out_tongue:

The only fix is for you to buy the higher tier bandwidth package at Google Cloud.

Sometimes the speed drops to 2 kb/s

I just did some math and, given my current download speed, I’ll be able to play Season 2 in 233 years…
