Anyone find a fix for slow patching?

I have been trying to download todays patch for over an hour now and it's only 512 mb . It gets to 64-66 % and just stops to a crawl and I have 100 mbs download speed. It shouldn't take no where close to this long to download a patch this small. I'm already tried deleting the shadercache.hogg file and doesn't help one bit.
It's clearly something with STO/PWE's patch server or something with so many people having this problem and only with STO and Pwe games.
Can we please get someone to fix this or at least give us a work around that actually works

Or it could be a problem being caused by your ISP. What does your 'Net Test' and 'Trace Route' diagnostic results look like?
Here's my trace, starting at hop #3:

Not sure why it goes bad during the transition from BrightHouse (RoadRunner) to Cogent, but it does so in a big way.
Normally, these latency values aren't too bad, assuming that there is no packet drop occurring...
Now the next question is what does the 'Net Test' results look like? Under normal conditions, sustained throughput should be in the 300 - 500 range. If your 'Net Test' results are much lower, then that would mean that the Road Runner gateway onto the Cogent Communication network would be silently dropping packets due to a lack of bandwidth, similar to the situation between Cogent and Verizon a few months ago...
The 'Net Test' network diagnostics is useful, because it doesn't connect to the STO servers, (so any performance issues caused by the servers are out of the picture,) instead, it connects to a diagnostic server that is one the same as the STO servers. So it measures straight Internet throughput performance. And if you don't have throughput, that means the STO servers can't get the data to maintain a session with your STO Client...
