Mark, Bandwidth use trends are actually increasingly asymmetical because of the popularity of OTT video. Social media, even with video uploading, simply doesn't generate that much traffic per session. "During peak period, Real-Time Entertainment traffic is by far the most dominant traffic category, accounting for almost half of the downstream bytes on the network. As observed in past reports, Social Networking applications continue to be very well represented on the mobile network. This speaks to their popularity with subscribers as these applications typically generate far less traffic than those that stream audio and video." https://www.sandvine.com/downloads/general/global-internet-phenomena/2013/sandvine-global-internet-phenomena-report-1h-2013.pdf Scott Helms Vice President of Technology ZCorum (678) 507-5000 -------------------------------- http://twitter.com/kscotthelms -------------------------------- On Fri, May 16, 2014 at 11:26 AM, Mark Tinka <mark.tinka () seacom mu> wrote:

Broadband suffers here for a number of reasons, mainly topological and population density, in comparison to places like Japan, parts (but certainly not all) of Europe, and South Korea.It might not be (now), but if symmetrical bandwidth will go in on the back of teenagers wanting to upload videos about their lives, the meer fact that the bandwidth is there means someone will find bigger and better use for it, than social media. We saw this when we deployed FTTH in Malaysia, back in '09. Mark.
