It's about time for another update on the monthly usage data and in particular our now regular focus on streaming and iPlayer.
A few headlines to start with based on all customers (both business and residential):
- Streaming usage per day is starting to flatten, February 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 now 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.
- The busiest hour of the day for streaming is 9-10pm where streaming now regularly accounts for over 11% of total downloads.
- The busiest hour of the month was 9-10pm on April 30th with 12.51% of the total downloads being streaming.
