starting with ISP and bandwidth limit...

then governments' attempt at blocking traffic with Protect IP law...

lastly get rid of MAFIAA's extortion scheme...

I feel like I just read a study that a majority of all internet traffic is porn.

 

[arson94]

I bet 10% of all netflix traffic comes to my computer. I can definitely say I get my money's worth, ever after the price hikes.

A clear sign that the U.S. needs to start re-thinking its whole bandwidth limits. We seem to have always limited the overall bandwidth for all sorts of various reasons causing us to lag behind.

Internet providers can only complain about bandwidth use if they are losing money. If they are making billions each year, shouldn't they be constantly upgrading their network instead?

 

[thrasher32]

We don't need less traffic, we need more bandwidth. Duh.

I'm not shocked about porn not making the top 4. Most people probably only spend a few minutes on a porn site, while people watch episode after episode of television shows on netflix.

Glad NNTP didn't make that list.

if this artical is interested, i download all the porn i want, to the extent that i have an ample archive, and never need to get more again, doesn't mean i wont, but means i don't have to.

most people only need 1gb, i need 300gb

 

[saskuatch]

you americans are lucky, come to Canada and then complain about bandwidth limits

 

[gm0n3y]

My internet usage is still probably 90%+ bittorrent. I'd say 7% online gaming and 3% HTTP.

 

[altikal]

alidan...Less time downloading porn. More time getting a girlfriend springs to mind.

 

[crewton]

After reading the upstream comment about their 1%, it makes an interesting analogy to America's other 1% >.>

Considering the crappy quality of most Hollyweird movies these days I have a hard time believing that people want to actually pay anything to see them.

 

[ickarumba1]

I'm surprised that torrenting doesn't take up a lot of bandwidth.

Actually, some foreign films on netflix do show full penetration.

Anyway, netflix doesn't hog anything, its just there. It's subscribers hog up the 32%.

Funny the real time entertainment apps had no mention of WOW, I bet that and just online gaming period take a huge chunk
