My 150 KBPS internet is ready.

I remember when I had that speed. By my calculations, if it doesn't dip below that for even a second, that's a little over 37 hours at the fastest.

 

You know, I remember the days when they just included two disks when the content was that big, rather than forcing you to download an update. Couldn't they have done that here? Perhaps have a campaign disk and a multiplayer disk? Or divide the collection into two disks of two games each?

Or just an install disc as a delivery method.

Like GTA V did. 

But I guess it would cut into the profit margin, it is better that it cuts into their users' time and data cap instead...

I feel like they did genuinely think they were protecting profit margin, but they went with the more tangible cost, and probably not the greater one. Doing it this way will still cut into profit because less people will get the game now. The only people with bad internet or data plans that will get this game are people too stupid to find those things out ahead of time, and even those people will spread the word. It affects a lot of the US, which is where the game is most popular.
