Just got back from a week away to find that origin had downloaded a massive 9GB when I turned my computer on. We get 40GB a month with nothing unmetered. Basically, we get 40GB, and that’s that.
So when origin decides to update BF3 without giving any indication, it uses almost 25% of the usage in one hit. We have a usage meter which tells us how much we can use each day so we don’t get capped. We are currently 5GB (12.5%) over the limit for today, and get 1GB/day left.
For this reason, I have to be really frugal with the internet until the 26th hoping not to get capped.
This is really unacceptable, and I’d really appreciate it if somebody could suggest a way of preventing BF3 from installing these updates without permission. I’d rather just not play until the internet resets than not be able to play, use youtube, mumble, or any other internet hog until this time.
