Likewise, mobile operator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> reported &#8220;<em>no significant rise<\/em>&#8221; in data usage.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A big part of the reason for this is likely to be because the game occurred on a Sunday (i.e. people were off work) and most of those viewing will have chosen to do so via a traditional TV, thus there wasn&#8217;t really a lot of point in streaming it online.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice to say that other games drew significantly more traffic on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a>&#8217;s mobile (mobile broadband) network, partly because many of them occurred during the working week, and we don&#8217;t all work &#8220;<em>normal<\/em>&#8221; hours (i.e. streaming can be handy). Not to mention that such events tend to draw increased activity on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the Euro 2020 final failed to beat the current record of the all-England Champions League final in May 2021 between Manchester City and Chelsea on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a>&#8217;s network. Otherwise, England&#8217;s last 16 clash with Germany took second place, with huge data traffic levels, but interestingly a 30% drop in voice calls on the mobile network as fans were glued to their screens. Meanwhile, third place went to England&#8217;s semi-final win over Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> saw a dip in broadband usage during the games, as fans preferred to focus on the live TV action. The biggest traffic drop of 28%, below the previous week, was seen during the Euro 2020 final, although there was a 13% upstream surge during the half-time break and during extra time as people shared the experience online.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Jeanie York, CTO of VMO2, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Euro 2020 truly captured the nation\u2019s hearts and minds and our digital habits throughout the tournament reflect that. While we saw a huge surge in O2 mobile usage and England matches were watched by millions on Virgin TV, broadband traffic dipped as fans logged off to focus on the football. In one way or another, our products and services have given England fans the connectivity they needed to feel closer to the action.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Separately, VMO2 added that they helped to mitigate &#8220;<em>capacity issues<\/em>&#8221; around the huge demand on their mobile network at <strong>Wembley Stadium<\/strong>, as 60,000 fans packed the venue and many more thousands lined the surrounding streets. A dedicated temporary radio site was installed to boost capacity and support the existing network infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cable broadband ISP Virgin Media (VMO2) reported a sharp decrease in internet traffic during England&#8217;s Euro 2020 football final against Italy on Sunday, with customers downloading 28% less than at the same time last week.
