Total ADSL traffic on the IS network
Speaking at the Broadband Conference hosted at Vodaworld, Internet Solutions’ General Manager for Internet Access, Alan Bacher, said that the company’s total ADSL Traffic for October 2007 came to 326 TB.
Business DSL accounted for 57% of this usage while consumers made up 28% and express services 15%.
Web browsing and P2P traffic accounts for the majority of this usage, while generic IP services and email also making up a sizable chunk. It is interesting to note that local P2P traffic and newsgroup downloads are not significant contributors to this total.
Bacher pointed out that bandwidth consumption is growing on a daily basis with services like IP Surveillance, VoIP, P2P, IP TV, Video On Demand and Online Gaming starting grow in popularity.
Bacher highlighted the value of local content, but said that he is well aware that the lower international hosting costs often mean that ‘local content’ is hosted overseas.
