I used to have very bad internet. 1 MB/s on a VERY good day, usually 200-400 KB/s.
I simply downloaded the game at a different location, on my son's broadband.
You do not need the internet to play the game. You can even play when offline. Still, the 450-700 Kb updates were manageable.
For the Patches - which be 10GB or so - either repeat the experience and download at a different location, or simply leave the PC on overnight (like I did).
Now I can reliably expect 1-3 MB/s. At night - even up to 5MB. That was enough for me to reinstal the game (overnight).
PS. 1 MB = 8Mb
