Sandvine: Over 70% Of North American Traffic Is Now Streaming Video And Audio
Waterloo, ON; December 7, 2015 – Sandvine, (TSX:SVC) a leading provider of intelligent broadband network solutions for fixed and mobile operators, today released its latest Global Internet Phenomena Report focusing on Africa, the Middle East, and North America. The report is based on data from a selection of Sandvine’s 250-plus communications service provider (CSP) customers.

Amazing to see the difference in content that using a Mobile Phone or tablet leads them to!Way more web browsing and video watching on mobile but No gaming while a lot of gaming on fixed "PC" internet usage...also people watch "real time entertainment" or I guess streaming video like cams and twitch and that seems to take up MAJORITY of PC users now WOW also file sharing is huge on fixed desktop PCs while mobile internet access has basically no file sharing....if people only knew that they could download bit torrent apps on their smart phones too!

Sandvine’s Global Internet Phenomena Report: Africa, Middle East, and North America contains findings from both fixed and mobile networks, the highlights of which include:

Real-Time Entertainment (streaming video and audio) traffic now accounts for over 70% of North American downstream traffic in the peak evening hours on fixed access networks. Five years ago it accounted for less than 35%
Netflix (37.1%), YouTube (17.9%), and Amazon Video (3.1%), the top three sources of video traffic on fixed access networks in North America, all saw an increase in traffic share over the levels observed earlier in the year
With the growth of video, BitTorrent share continues to see a decline in fixed access bandwidth share, and now accounts for only 5% of total traffic in North America. Last year during the same period it accounted for over 7%
On mobile networks in the Middle East, Instagram is responsible for over 10% of total traffic. Combining Instagram with traffic from WhatsApp and Facebook, reveals that Facebook controls almost 25% of mobile traffic in the region
WhatsApp, driven by the recent addition of voice calling, now accounts for more than 10% of downstream mobile traffic in Africa
The release of Windows 10 in July did not break the Internet as some predicted. Microsoft’s decision to deploy the update in waves, during off-peak hours resulted in the release having minimal impact on networks around the globe
“Streaming Video has grown at such a rapid pace in North America that the leading service in 2015, Netflix, now has a greater share of traffic than all of streaming audio and video did five years ago,” said Dave Caputo, CEO, Sandvine. “With Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Video, and Hulu increasing their share since our last report, it further underscores both the growing role these streaming services play in the lives of subscribers, and the need for service providers to have solutions to help deliver a quality experience when using them.”
