ISP PlusNet Highlights Rising UK Demand for Netflix Video Streams

Friday, Aug 22nd, 2014 (1:25 am) - Score 1,866

Broadband ISP PlusNet has kindly supplied us with a new graph to show how consumer Internet traffic on the popular Netflix TV and movie streaming service has changed over the past 6-7 months (on their network).

The ISP notes that more than 3 million UK households are now predicted to be customers of Netflix, with around 1.5 million joining in the last year alone and, despite a small price rise to £6.99 per month, the demand appears to be rising.

Internet video streaming is known to be the main driver for consumer data traffic, with YouTube tending to be the biggest data hog around the world. As a result PlusNet has included YouTube on their graph to help offer some perspective. YouTube contributes more overall traffic, but it doesn’t have Netflix’s “significant peak“.

Dave Tomlinson, PlusNet’s Products Team, said:

The end of summer into the start of autumn are a busy time for an ISP. The new Premier League football season is starting, new episodes of popular TV shows starting such as Doctor Who and big software updates like the upcoming iOS8 from Apple. Combine this together with the nights starting to draw in it means that people are doing more online. With this in mind we’re continually increasing the bandwidth on our network and have added a significant amount recently.”

End.
