Broadband ISP PlusNet came very close to seeing BBC iPlayer (Internet TV) traffic on their service pass the 2Gbps mark recently. Customers of the provider switched on to watch the Wimbledon (Tennis) match between Andy Murray and Juan Carlos Ferrero.
The event apparently pushed iPlayer usage on the ISP to a new record high peak of 1.81Gbps, which accounted for over 25% of PlusNet's network capacity. The previous high was recorded on Monday during Andy's fourth round game when usage hit 1.66Gbps.

If it's like that now, you better buy in some more capacity in case he makes the final!!

Just wait until there's a sporting event that, unlike tennis, isn't terminally boring.
