How do folk with slow 'net download modern games?

With physical media all but obsolete, how do those with slow (sub 8mbit/s say) cope with downloading tens of GB?

Can the installer be downloaded to a USB drive at your mates house and taken home?

It's hard to have internet that slow with the 4G coverage being so good these days, unless you are in a black spot for every network, and unlimited data tariffs costing less than some BB connections. I guess maybe a lot of people just don't even think about 4G though, as it is slightly outside of the box thinking.

Good point about 4G, I do have a 4G router, gets ~20-30mbps, but I pay £15/month for 30GB, EE. How good are unlimited offers? Really unlimited or cut the speed after a few GB?

EE £22 unlimited broadband, no speed caps

Wow, that's impressive. Special offer or widely available?
