NAG LAN at rAge 2013 Internet traffic stats

[Roomys]

Over a 3 day window 15gbs doesnt seem like a lot per user (this is based on a single connection at home though and not governed).

I resell IS accounts on a weekly basis, its thought provoking that if they can offer this at a huge event to promote themselves then why is SA so backwards for the home users?

I cant and wish for the day that we have awesome interwebs at a competitive market price.

I blame Groupee, Bundlestars and Humblebundle

League Of Legends, Pokemon and Skylanders is what I play

“The overall volume of Internet traffic served during the NAG LAN at rAge 2013 was 26TB, which consisted of 21.3TB downloaded, and 4.6TB uploaded,” said Parker.

“We are still awaiting the final breakdown of traffic, but loosely, the top sites included: Steam, Microsoft Update, YouTube, and local gaming servers.”

Those numbers (for 3 days only) are staggering! Did they all decide to download all the games ever wanted from Steam?

Enter LAN just to update computer and download all the games bought from the last year's worth of Steam sales? It sure looks like it

Well why not some people don't have a great internet connection or are on capped accounts.
There is really no more lan games out there yeah there are a few but not everyone plays them.

I would do the same since that is the point of uncapped.

Well, 26TB between 1600 people is actually not that much. It works out to about 16gb per person (if IS uses the 1TB = 1024gb conversion, instead of the common misconception that 1TB is 1000GB), which really isn't that much. I don't know about you guys, but when I'm downloading stuff on my 2mb line I use an average of 20gb per weekend.

I expected the stats to be much higher, tbh.

Well - Lets hoe the stats are that low because everyone respected the lines and didn't use Torrents (I'm sure one of the network guys said that P2P was limited).
