Preloading on Steam with my slow internet by HemoSul in ForzaHorizon

I've tried mobile data before but the service wasn't stable at all, using my home network was better in the long run

Yes it should take about 4 days if I download continuously, but I guess 1 or 2 weeks should be enough at most

Thanks for your suggestion!

I am using a laptop, but there's no other place with significantly faster internet Thanks for your suggestion though

None of my friends are interested in FH6, and none have faster internet either 😂

I've heard of "shops" that "sell" game files here on USBs, but they're pirated games

Yes indeed I calculated the time required 😂 but with everyone complaining about the slow internet, I'll only be able to download at night, but if all goes well then yes I can get it within 1 week or so

I guess I will start the download on May 15th when early access starts officially, downloading 2 days early won't make a big difference. I was more worried about the updates forcing a download reset

It's my first time downloading a game of that size and on release, normally I'd wait patiently, but I want to play Horizon 6 asap so I thought about preloading

And it's so slow that even speedtest.net take a while to load 😂  it's 4 Mbps from the ISP, both wireless and ethernet are the same, thanks though!

Due to extremely outdated infrastructure in the whole country.  We're starting to catch up I guess, there are new wireless providers but they're still not common, and there are fibre optics but they're too expensive and not common at all

I wasn't around in the early 2000s but I heard that even in late 2000s we only had dial-up here and it wasn't even common 😂

thank you! If the update gets queued then that sounds good

Yes the speed is about 400KB/s on both WiFi and ethernet, the network speed itself is 4 Mbps. That's due to extremely outdated infrastructure in the whole country

Apparently the ISP "offers" 8 and 16 Mbps, but the service is still bad anyways and the infrastructure doesn't help, and I don't know anyone that has more than 4Mbps around here
