Median monthly usage by broadband subscribers in 2020 is on a trajectory to surpass 250 GB for the first time, according to the OpenVault Broadband Industry report.
By the end of 2019, nearly three percent of customers tracked by OpenVault purchased gigabit per second internet access. Nearly four percent bought service at between 500 Mbps and 900 Mbps. Some 11 percetn purchased service running between 200 Mbps and 400 Mbps.
About 37 percent bought service operating between 100 Mbps and 200 Mbps, while 24 percent had services running between 50 Mbps and 75 Mbps.
A 24.4 percent increase in average provisioned speed, from 103.1 Mbps to 128.3 Mbps, in 2019 was slightly outpaced by a 27.3 percent increase in average consumption, from 270.2 GB to 344 GB, OpenVault says.
A median usage of 250 GB would represent a 24.9 percent increase from the 2019 median of 190.7 GB, OpenVault says.
In late 2018, perhaps 1.85 percent of subscribers purchased gigabit-speed service. Nearly 66 percent bought services running between 50 and 150 Mbps. Close to half of all subscribers (46 percent) bought service at speeds of 100 Mbps or higher.
