Hello everyone!
Arrival DLC going to be released in a few days and i`m going to download it. Here is the questions:

1) I want to pay dor DLC using Visa Electron, but in column "billing address" there Address 1 and Address 2, what do i need to enter there? (Street, city, something else?)
2) How do i buy DLC after it? (i pretty much sure how, but 1 point is confusing  - Cerberberus Network for 1200 bioware points. Do i really need to download it before i buy the Arrival, or i can download DLC without it?

Thanks in advice for answers. :)

3) Bioware, release size of DLC, it`s not that much of a problem for you (Judging by IGN reviews and videos about Arrival before even a trailer).
     Reason for this question - internet!  I have crap  769-900 KB/s connection (6-7 mbit) and i really need size to decide on improving the internet speed (to 24 mbps, or find 50 mbit somewhere:alien: ). I`m pretty sure that more than i have the same speed or even worse, so release the "mass" of DLC.

To questions 1 and 2 - if there is a guide about it anywhere, add a link to an answer, beacause i`m pretty sure there will be DLC`s for ME3 and i going to download them to.

1. Address 1 would be your house number and street, whereas Address 2 generally won't be used that much. So, using an example, you'd have something like this:
Address 1 - 123 XYZ Street
Address 2 - *Blank* 
Town/City - Bloggsville
And so forth. 

2. Simple. See the top where it says Games? Hover over it, go to ME2, then Official DLC. Click the 'Buy' picture and go down that route. You do not need to buy the Cerberus Network if you have a new copy of the game, as it will come with it. CN is not necessary to access the paid-for DLC. However, I think you need to have your game registered to use DLC, but I could be wrong.

3. Expect a size between 500MB and 1GB - That would keep it in line with the rest of the DLC we've had so far.

Oh, and if you think your connection speed is 'crap' at that rate, then I would kindly ask you to not moan about it. Mine is rarely higher than 500KB/s, and often sits at about 200-350, and I suspect I'm not far from the average, nor do I think it's a big deal.

Thank you  for assistance :) 
If my memory don`t lie to me, the Shadow Broker DLC is 1.592 MB in size. From what i`ve read at IGN about Arrival,  it  contains 5 missions plus (must be so) cutscenes, perhaps even new musics  - almost the recipe of the shadow broker DLC. Everything will be nice if we see about 1.6 - 3.0 Gb in size, but again from "moaning" of other people about video and content  (someone suggested that animation of Amanda Kenson is like copied from Jack one)  there may be 1.0-2.0 Gb depending of "kindness" of BioWare.

It's a bit more than 1.53MB (1.6GB), but it has more unique things than any DLC pack so far, including a temporary companion and a new gameplay mechanic (i.e. the car chase), not to mention that the Shadow Broker ship is HUGE.

Arrival will be about 1GB at most. 2GB or bigger wouldn't happen.

      Agree with that... But wait, i haven`t seen video about arrival, but randomly clicked at random timing of it to see random screen, not to spoil a whole DLC and... We have Amanda Kenson in squad icons (one of two)  so perhaps se`ll be like liara in terms of temporary squad mate... It means animations (yeah, familiar thing to me - after several years of 3dsmax animations) can be included with DLC.
      I`ve installed LOTsb and it really nice work, but still far from ideal. It can be little bigger, some "alternatives", not just straight line and actually BioWare could release a new DLC with missions from Liara. Those missions could have been a whole breakthrough - from long term missions about trying to get Vigil`s databanks about reapers and principle of Mass Relay operation to leaking secrets about leviathan of Dis with potential of learning something new in terms of reaper AI operation. 
      Yet this either missed plot or we get something like this in ME3.

But anyway, all "leaks" about arrival, they must be accured beacause of EA, as other people speak.

This is the wrong forum for Bioware points issues. You will get more answers in the correct one;
