UK ISP Virgin Media<\/a> (VMO2) has today finally confirmed that they too also saw their “highest traffic peak on record<\/em>” on Wednesday (19th Oct) last week, which occurred as football fans tuned into stream Premier League matches on Amazon<\/a> (Prime Video) and gamers preloaded the latest ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2<\/em>‘ game ahead of its release.<\/p>\n

As a result, Virgin Media<\/a> said that their network data consumption “significantly spiked<\/em>” before peaking at 9:20pm – when traffic was up 40% compared to an average weeknight in 2022. In the space of just a few hours (6pm-12am), the average broadband user consumed a whopping 8.43GB (GigaBytes) of data, although sadly they didn’t provide an overall figure for their network traffic (usually expressed in ‘Terabits per second’).<\/p>\n

All of this is consistent with what broadband ISP TalkTalk<\/a> and the London Internet Exchange<\/a> (LINX) separately reported last week (here<\/a>). As we’ve said before, demand for data is constantly rising and broadband connections are forever getting faster, thus new peaks of usage are being set all the time by every ISP (usage typically grows by 30%+ each year) – this has been the way since the internet was first invented.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the capacity of backhaul and international fibre links continues to grow as technology improves, while the costs of moving all that data around tends to fall.<\/p>\n

Jeanie York, Chief Technology Officer at VVMO2, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Whilst we\u2019re used to seeing sustained growth in usage and significant spikes on our network, the latest Prime Premier League games and Call of Duty: Warzone 2 release has smashed our previous traffic peak record out of the park \u2013 with traffic at heights hard to imagine even just a few years ago.<\/p>\n

Whilst it\u2019s hard to predict what will come next in the world of streaming and gaming, one thing is for certain; with gigabit speeds and an ultra-reliable service to match, we have the network that is ready for it all.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
