SA's biggest bandwidth hogs of 2022 revealed

Prominent Internet service providers (ISPs) had several fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) customers who consumed well over 500 terabytes (TB) of data in the first 11 months of 2022.

MyBroadband asked the country's biggest ISPs for the consumption figures of their most demanding customers between January 2022 and November 2022.

Yo, these people need to stop "hogging" for what they pay their ISPs for. Not enough spectrum available to the rest of us.

How many people have suffered at the hands of these so called "hogs"

Inb4/ Hogs is degrading or unnecessary. This is 2022 et al.

Too late. Knew you were coming and needed to be faster than you.
All these articles are good for is showing us which networks and ISPs are delivering.

Outlook still accounts for 2.8%. that's a metric butt-ton of emails. People really need to stop sending email. All the human lifetimes wasted.

They probably hosting there own gaming servers/ websites /streaming sites

 

[Danie_V]

I may be wrong but 11% seems higher than 10% usage so should not YouTube actually dominate the bandwidth instead of Facebook?

Not on porn hub:

This Is the World's Biggest Porn Collection

Pornhub says it hosts a staggering 11 petabytes of data—nearly 7,000 years of porn. How does it store all that smut? And will humanity ever reach peak porn?

But the unpublished amateur videos will be in the petabytes.

I haven't yet starred in my own porn movie yet.

For that reason, it would have been interesting to see the download/upload split.

But my money is on a WISP

Easily. That's probably about how much porn gets made every day

HTF do you do 40TB+ per month??

Actually very easy...If you have streaming services like Netflix, IPTV and Youtube, you can use as much as 7GB per hour on streaming per app alone. In my household we do streaming, downloading files and uploading to cloud. The kids download games on Xbox and PS - some games are 70GB+ in size, not forgetting the updates that have to be downloaded. General web browsing and Apps like Instagram, Tiktok and Facebook also consumes lots of data. Working from home, you have to download and upload files and have Zoom meetings. If you love movies and series, you use many GB's to download and stream them. We have a 200/200 line and average use are about 25TB+ per month - lets not forget the extra data used when the family comes to visit...The most we did in a busy month with family was 55TB for the month.
