UK ISP Plusnet reports that streaming (IPTV etc.) usage on its broadband platform appears to be slowing after an initial growth spurt earlier in the year. February 2008 saw a near 25% increase in streaming traffic per day over January, but by March that had slowed to 6.61% over February and April was up only 3.19% per day over March:


Per customer, streaming increased by just 1.54% in April over March, a decrease from 4.66% in March and 23.04% in February. Evening (4pm - midnight) streaming downloads account for 9.47% of the available network capacity. Up from 8.81% in March and 8.27% in February (and 4.86% in August last year). Total streaming (upload and download across the whole day) now accounts for 6.39% of all usage, up from 6.05% last month. More @ PlusNet's Community Site.
