Biggest ADSL bandwidth hogs in SA

The latest ISP statistics show that South Africa’s top ADSL users consume the same as hundreds of low-end consumers.

The biggest uncapped ADSL bandwidth users in South Africa are consuming between 2TB and 3TB per month. This is according to the latest statistics from some of the country’s top ISPs.

The average bandwidth usage by ADSL users in South Africa is increasing rapidly. This is partly fuelled by the growing popularity of online video services such as YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu.

According to Telkom managing executive Erna Korff the company’s broadband bandwidth consumption tripled over past year.

The typical average usage of the uncapped ADSL consumer now ranges between 30GB and 60GB per month, depending on the account type.

The average business uncapped ADSL user consumes significantly more – typically between 60GB and 100GB per month.

The top users consumed multiple times more data than the average usage, and hundreds of times more than low-end users who only consume a few gigabytes per month.
