A new Censuswide survey of 2,005 UK gamers, which was commissioned by broadband ISP Zen Internet<\/a>, has warned that internet traffic could jump higher than usual on Christmas Day as people unwrap the new generation of video game consoles (Xbox X, PS5) and games, most of which will demand large software updates.<\/p>\n

Zen fears that gamers could be “sat twiddling their thumbs on Christmas morning<\/em>” as slow WiFi<\/a> and broadband worries threaten to turn the festive season into a frustrating one. The ISP suggests that gamers who download could face an average wait of 45 minutes for updates and installations (we aren’t told how they calculated this), with 6% admitting they’ve had to wait 3 hours to download games in the past.<\/p>\n

Roughly one in five (17%) gamers revealed that they are not confident their internet connection will cope with the next generation consoles, while 38% are said to have shouted at their routers while playing online and 13% found that connectivity issues while gaming have caused an argument with a partner. Perhaps unsurprisingly, 13% of those surveyed are planning to upgrade their broadband package (Zen has a vested interest in this).<\/p>\n

Richard Tang, Zen’s Chairman and Founder, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The new PlayStation and Xbox consoles are raising the bar for gamers worldwide, with huge anticipation for the new graphics and game releases that come with them. However, many could be left frustrated by connectivity issues that ruin their holiday spirit.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Historically we’ve tended to observe that broadband traffic on Christmas day often ends up being lower than normal, which is partly down to the distraction of Christmas lunch \/ dinners and of large family gatherings in general (i.e. more focus on people, less on screens). Not to mention that traditional TV (not streaming) tends to become more popular during family gatherings than streaming.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, COVID-19 has changed a lot this year and Christmas 2020 is likely to be a smaller affair for many families, which could change the usual behaviours. Nevertheless, history shows that if you do need to apply a big update to a new piece of kit on Christmas Day then it’s often best to start it either just before lunch (when fewer bandwidth hogs will be active) or after 11pm (most people will have gone to bed).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
