This is good,is this available same for the UK?
Post has been removed,what was it about?
Yeah, not really sure why despite the explanation given by Reddit, it was just explaining issues I encountered attempting to pre-install the GP Premium Upgrade Bundle for anyone who may have had the same problem. So much for trying to be helpful…
Confirmed - My UK connection is just finishing up the update now. Still 134.86 GB - Thankfully upgraded my broadband connection last year or it would’ve taken days…
Mines downloading now,on a slow internet connection,70mbps,so it maybe a while.lol
Its fast enough for problem free gaming and streaming movies which is all i really need.
I guess you’ve got about 2-3 hours left to go depending on who you’re with.
My old 70Mbps connection would’ve taken about 5-6 hrs minimum not accounting for the constant stoppages during the download so more like 12 hours in real time going on past experiences - no idea why it always did that but really annoying.
Went for a 500 Mbps fibre connection last year and it was all done and dusted in 38 mins with no stoppages. Best decision I’ve ever made, especially as it was £10 less than my old connection. 
Weird how the better connection got rid of all the stoppage time.

Moving from 70 to 900 was an eye opener. Like moving from dial up to broadband.
Also as you’ve said it was cheaper than what I had previously. Weird.
Funny you should say that. With my old 70Mbps copper connection, updates were constantly slowing down into the kbps range (especially Xbox based updates) so it was often very much like an old dial up modem experience or just stopping completely for ages. Even the smallest file took forever.
I went up to a 500Mbps fibre and it rarely drops below 470 and never stops. I reckon it’s just the copper vs fibre optic difference.

Is anyone else’s premium upgrade still pending in their recent purchases? I’ve the funds sitting waiting but it’s still pending.
When you say you have the funds sitting waiting does that mean you haven’t actually said buy it then ?
It’s probably pending because it’s waiting for you to do that. I made my full payment weeks ago and the full download of the game came in yesterday even though it still can’t be played till the 15th.
Yes I bought it when it was avaliable but it still says pending and when I click it it just takes me to the main page and says already owned.
So if you’ve made the full payment and downloaded the full update then it’s just a matter of waiting till the 15th when the Premium pre-order gets officially released.
Don’t think the preorder money has been taken yet as the game isn’t released yet.
I did get a notification on Xbox a few days ago too make sure my payment info was up to date as there was a preorder due soon
The pre-order money should get taken as soon as you say buy it.
I’ve also had a notification sitting there for the past 3 days but when I click on it, it takes me to the order history and says pre-order : completed on the 16th Feb. My store basket money also had the money removed from it when I said buy it.
The tile itself just says pre-ordered.
The only pending I saw was yesterday in the updates section as it doesn’t install the update automatically like the usual FH5 monthly updates used to.

I actually had to check this
From the support site: Pre-order Xbox digital games in the Microsoft Store | Xbox Support Xbox Support
When will I be billed for my game?
If you used account credit to pre-order your game, your balance will be taken immediately. If you used a credit card or split the payment between a credit card and account balance, you’ll be charged around 10 days before the early access period or the release date, depending on the game and version that you bought.
If your account balance is lower than the amount you have authorised for pre-order billing, the remainder will be taken from your credit card. You’ll receive an email to your billing account confirming that the remaining card payment was collected successfully, and the game will be available for you to play on the day it launches.

I guess that makes sense. I used Xbox gift cards to put the credit into my account and bought it with that.
