My XB1 peaks around 200Mbit/s and averages around 175Mbit/s when downloading these files. Which is on par with my other downloads from XB1. It's not terrible but not great either, imo. PC clients such as Steam and Uplay all serve data at a faster rate.
I've got a 500/500 fiber connection and a fully wired 1Gbit private network to which the XB1 is directly hooked up. The limiting factors here are the speed at which the hard disk can process the data and the rate at which MS is willing to serve the data.
Edit: When I use remote play on my PC it drops to 3Mbit/s.

I wonder why they just didn't do it all as real time cutscenes.
The average write speed of a good 5400RPM is about 130MB/s, which is 1040Mb/s = Gigabit Fibre speed, so it shouldn't cap out even at 500Mb/s.
Unless I'm missing something.

Continues writing at max capacity of the drive can be a problem for some drives. Steam actually pauses the downloads on my PC a few times just to give the drive time to process the data. Strangely enough Uplay doesn't have this problem. Guess it also depend on how the download manager handles it.

Always wondered why Steam did this, but never looked into the reason.
That can be now checked off the list, lol. Always learn something new everyday.
Because the game was conceived at the time when Microsoft intended to invest a lot into live action series (this, Halo etc.)
Then after they abandoned the entire venture in 2014, this game was all that remained.
Or closer to the two hours we read in this thread. (30mn for each part, 30mn for the live action).
I thought the live action was supposed to be 22mn though? In the youtube video it's more like half an hour. Also, i thought there were only 4 episodes, so the last chapter doesn't have one?

I assume that it's because of that based on disk/network usage and the client saying 'writing to disk' '
I might be completely off the mark here.Data corruption has nothing to do with that

It does make sense, probably less of a chance for file corruption as well if the disc has time to do it's thing.
Are you sure? Someone replied to me earlier saying that he pre-ordered and was pre-loading as he wrote.

Are these optional or necessary to understand the story? I'm really not looking forward to having to watch these when I just want to play the game.
In order to pre-load go to:
My Games & Apps > Quantum Break > Press your controller's "Menu Button" > Manage Game > Quantum Break Episode Pack > Install
This is if you have already pre-ordered Quantum Break. You can't download this through the store. It will tell you that it is "Bundle Only".
Yea the episodes are supposed to be 20 min, so if act 1 is 2 hrs and it's the shortest act, then 5 acts are at least 10 hrs. Where did people get 8 hrs from?
4 days in my case!

Doesn't IPTV reserve bandwidth for the TV service beyond what your Internet package can do?

How I long for such Internet connection...ez my internet not even gonna break a sweat.
Holy shit how is 88 Minutes of footage so damn big
Not here. All I'm left with is ~20% of bandwith when someone watches IPTV.

Oh damn, that sucks. For Bell Fibe, if you have a 30Mb download they give you 51Mb down because they reserve 21Mb for IPTV (7Mb x 3 TVs).

This is my thoughts too. I am buying physical but it seems silly to limit something so big even for disc people. Normally I wouldn't mind so much, the size isnt a problem for me but there is only so much I can download before I want to play the game... I hope there is a plan for this
Telekom promises 16Mb, but I only get 10-12Mb and while someone watches IPTV I'm left with 1-3Mb.

Regarding the playtime. The highest difficulty surely will extend it a bit, right? Does anyone know if the highest difficulty is available right from the start or does it need to be unlocked with one playthrough?

Google Fiber needs to come to Seattle, man. I'm tired of Comcrap.
My guess is that it was probably easier/cheaper to film those 20 minutes FMV than create all the assets that would only be used in these cutscenes.
15 hours would be absolutely solid imo. The only playthrough figures we have thus far suggest 8 hours 15 minutes first play through, including collecting, exploring and the live action cutscenes. Remove the live action stuff and you're left with 6 hours and 45 minutes. That said, we can't confirm the validity of that post. I'm hoping most play through's will be over 10-12 hours including the live action cut scenes.
Thank you. I was searching for a button on the store. It didn't occur to me to look in games and app management.
It's just extremely unlikely for Remedy to make Quantum Break just short of 7 hours. That would be highly unexpected. Alan Wake has a 13 hours average for combined and even American Nightmare has a 4 hours average combined.
The expected would be 10-12 hours of gameplay minimum in my opinion. April 1st can't come soon enough, we'll get real stats from reviewers.

Uh, they kinda were. Some chapters were only cutscenes.
They said there are also differences in gameplay like more/different enemies. im not expecting huge changes however.

Minimum? I don't expect it to be a ginormous game, I think you might be a bit disappointed. Obviously I could be wrong, but 10 hours would be good (of gameplay) I'm not expecting more than that personally... they've been quite quiet on length
Little teaser of Paul Serene in the live action show. Looks pretty good imo.

For most people Alan Wake was 10 hours max. I remember beating it myself in around 9. QB will probably be around that in length if not a bit shorter due to ever increasing development costs in general.

How much do you pay for Google Fiber? Man, I wish they'd bring it to Europe already.

His link shows 11 hours avg. for the main story... 13 hours avg. is getting all collectives.
QB will be less than 10 hours including cutscenes... that is my take.
Yes i watched it already, i like how Microsoft is advertising this game, unlike they did or actually didn't with Alan Wake

Nothing in The Order was long
OT: I don't totally mind this for people who are desperate for the best quality, but you'd think they could've added SD versions on disk for those offline.
