Global Internet Bandwidth Grows 29% in 2021

Global internet bandwidth usage spiked 34 percent from 2019 to 2020 and a further 29 percent in 2021 to 786 Terabits per Second (Tbps), says Sandvine


“We expect the average household to use as much as 650  gigabytes to 750 gigabytes per month by the end of 2021,” Sandvine notes. Video and game content is fueling power user behavior. 


“In fixed network data, we are seeing an increase in 1 terabyte per month power users,” Sandvine says. “The heaviest users spent time on XBOX Live Video, Microsoft Outlook 365, Netflix, PS4 Games downloads, Discord, Twitch, and BitTorrent.”



And the “big six” share of traffic is growing.
