No generally it's pretty random even with the best infrastructure. If it was pretty predictable you'd have your game right now and you wouldn't be given the run around. Quite frankly no, no it's not better than the alternative and no offence but it's quite delusional or at the very least quite ignorant of the alternative to say it is. But hey lets blame the under-trained and unqualified customer support that isn't paid enough to care for your ignorance and choices that were obviously going to end badly :D.

Of all the digital downloads I've ever purchased, which is many, this is the first with an issue. That tells me this game inparticular has an issue. If I generally had problems with digital downloads I wouldn't have purchased Halo:MCC digitally. Maybe you need to look up the definition of "predictable."

The alternative is settling with games I won't enjoy nearly as much. So please, don't push your inferior choices on me.

I'm not blaming customer support for being ill-equiped to handle this specific problem. I don't think someone with your intellect could figure this out either. I'm blaming them for wasting time with the same solutions that didn't work before.

Anyhow, I might have found a solution because the download is now beyond 50% instead of getting stuck at 31%. Pray for Mojo.

Perhaps you need to look up the word predictable...

pre·dict·a·ble
prəˈdiktəb(ə)l/
adjective
 
  1. able to be predicted.
    "the market is volatile and never predictable"
    synonyms: foreseeable, (only) to be expected, anticipated, foreseen, unsurprising;
    informalinevitable
    "Guido's reaction was predictable"
    • derogatory
      behaving or occurring in a way that is expected.
      "the characters were very stereotyped and extremely predictable"


Then there are these readily known facts:

Considering the fact that XBL and devs have been attacked or had many issues every week so far, the fact the internet infrastructure is unpredictable at best and the fact that people have been reporting issues not only with this game but every game for awhile now https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/84ad72a8b51847978545f685f651fc15/topics/mcc-pre-download-not-working/bce69c01-eac6-41ce-8e38-27b2e2e3b2a1/posts

The only thing that is fair to say was "predictable" was the fact that you were going to have issues with your download. But what do I know, and what do those countless people that warned of this and complained when MS first revealed their old plans to go all digital know?  I hate to break it to you but the fact that you have been lucky until now doesn't mean that is the rule, it means you are the exception to the rule. See in the real world outside of your quaint little diluted bubble people have issues all the time. Ya just have to look at any support forum to see that. 

The only reason you think the alternatives are inferior is because you are incapable of escaping your own ignorance and bias and try them and see them for what they are. So you really got no one to blame for your problems but yourself. As far as this issue goes there are only two entities at fault, MS for not really giving a damn, and you for making terrible choices, ignorance fueled assumptions, and not seeing this coming like everyone else did from a mile away.
So my advice to you: Get off your high horse, quit lashing out at those that try to help you, get out of your bubble and explore the alternatives, and don't talk down to those that are clearly your intellectual superiors. Especially when you made a bone headed mistake and put your foot so deep into your mouth that you will be shitting shoe laces for weeks.
