Game Download Exceptionally Slow

Recently my FF14 was refusing to close when I attempted to exit, it was also occasionally throwing DX11 errors upon launch and crashing. With the 5.2 patch upcoming I figured a reinstall of the game was in order to resolve these issues.

Downloading the game, however, has turned into an ordeal of its own. The download speed appears to be capped below 2Mb/s. At its current speed the download will take some 12 hours. I attempted to leave it going while I was at work but it lost connection halfway through the download while I was gone and lost all progress.

I'd rather not have to leave this download going for half a day only to see a connection hiccup break it again so I've come here with an info dump to see if you can try something I've not tried.

System has been rebooted, the problem isn't an issue of disk usage (the drive in question is an SSD). I have rebooted the modem, speed tests to multiple sources including MLABS say I should have a bandwith of about 50 times the game's current download speed.

Device is not nor has it ever been connected wirelessly, I do not even have wireless capability installed in this computer - it is connected directly to the modem via a single CAT 6E patch cable.

I've added port forwarding exceptions to the router, I've attempted to remove the router entirely and connect directly to the modem as well as add the port exceptions to the modem. The programme has an exception in the windows firewall.

If anyone has other suggestions I'm open to them.
