Both records occurred on the back of football streaming, although last year&#8217;s peak was also given an additional boost by the release of several popular video game software updates, which triggered an additional surge in download activity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/amazon\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> are due to host a further batch of &#8220;<em>exclusive<\/em>&#8221; Premier League Football matches tonight, from 7pm, so we expect to see another busy evening.<\/div>\n<p>By comparison, most of the additional traffic generated last night occurred as a result of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/amazon\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> live-streaming a multitude of football matches via their popular <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3dceGbo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Prime Video<\/strong><\/a> service (i.e. Watford v Chelsea, Southampton v Leicester, West Ham v Brighton, Wolves v Burnley, Aston Villa v Man City and Everton v Liverpool).<\/p>\n<p>Phil Haslam, CTO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a>, said: &#8220;<em>Last night\u2019s network peak demonstrates that our appetite for data (and great sport) is showing no signs of slowing down. When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/amazon\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> Prime streams football matches, it adds a big surge in demand on our network. That\u2019s because our customers stream the action in real time, and Amazon Prime show multiple games simultaneously so more people watch at once. The last thing any fan wants is to miss their team score, so our brilliant engineering teams worked through the night this week to make sure our network ran smoothly<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The ISP has also issued a chart of last night&#8217;s network traffic, which shows the Tbps traffic rate on the left and the time at the bottom (we assume they were too busy to bother writing the labels in themselves).
