You know... I say the way the headline characterizes the subject is misleading. It would be more accurate to say something like.... "North American Internet users utilize more of their available network capacity to access Netflix, than any other company's service." Bandwidth is not "eaten up"; it is utilized. Bandwidth is not a scarce, indivisable resource. Since the article is about "peak downstream bandwidth in North America". The statistics are about what broadband customers are doing; according to Sandvine. The first thought that enters my mind, when I see this headline, and those charts, is that the provider of the statistics / chooser of the headline has a product they want to sell. :) -- -JH
