This is equivalent to each gamer having experienced the equivalent of a 100Mbps broadband service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But what did the 2,100 gamers at rAge do to consume 100TB of data, you may ask. \u201cPatches for both Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 topped the list, while the highest HTTP traffic came from EA, Playstation, Microsoft (Windows Updates and Xbox), Steam and Nvidia, AMD and ATi,\u201d said Montjoie.<\/p>\n<p>Last year IS sponsored a 1Gbps connection to the expo for the first time \u2013 setting the initial record for a LAN connection in Africa.
