I don't have time for big games anymore (like Battlefield or GTA V). It's frustrating having to keep my PC running all night downloading huge files—way too much bandwidth. I'm considering using physical discs so I can install games directly without needing a new key. If I already own the game on my Origin account, will that let me play right away?

The game is already set up. You can uninstall and then reinstall without writing any code—it’s already active.

You can purchase the disks used and turn them on with your personal key, of course. Still, the rate at which the disk sends data to your HDD/SSD might be quite slow. For me, downloading feels 1.5 times quicker than using a physical drive. (BF4)

Jesus, that's not good. Some folks experience poor internet, and having to re-download is really frustrating.

Looks like you're getting around 20 megabits per second for downloads and 15 megabits per second for uploads.

That sounds about 200 euros each month? Are you sure it’s that much?

It's not that bad, just not fast enough for 1/kbps. Still, it handles most games well, though I’m getting about 3/mbps.

Confirming the details: 80Mbps equals approximately 9.5MB/s. The cost is £27 per month, which converts to €36.

The key is linked to your account. If you purchase a disc in a store and the game is already activated, you've likely spent money for a faster setup—lol. I believe BF3 can only be installed from the internet (origin) unless you buy a physical copy. When I bought a BF3 disc, it worked through the internet.
