"Netflix continues to dominate North American Internet usage, with the streaming-video service eating up 34.21 percent of peak downstream traffic, according to a new report from Sandvine. For comparison, Amazon Prime Instant Video only accounts for 1.9 percent of peak traffic. Meanwhile, Twitch.tv - which lets gamers broadcast and watch others players' sessions - generates more traffic in the U.S. than HBO GO."
"The mean monthly usage among cord cutters, meanwhile, was at 212GB compared to 29GB for typical subscribers. That means cord cutters consume about 72 percent of the streaming share, while non-cord cutters make up about 45 percent. "That may seem like a shockingly high number to some," Sandvine communications manager Dan Deeth wrote in a blog post. "But in [a] home with multiple individuals, and multiple screens, it is a number that is quite easily achievable.""
Netflix accounts for 34.21 percent of peak downstream traffic in North America while Amazon Prime Instant Video accounts for 1.9 percent. Twitch.tv generates more U.S. traffic than HBO GO. Cord cutters, viewers who forgo cable and rely on streaming, average about 100 hours of streaming per month versus nine hours for non-cord cutters. Mean monthly usage for cord cutters is 212 GB compared to 29 GB for typical subscribers, with cord cutters taking roughly 72 percent of the streaming share. Mobile mean monthly usage rose from 443 MB to 465 MB and median usage grew from 84 MB to 102 MB, helped by LTE rollout and increasing smartphone adoption.
