Sandvine, a leading provider of intelligent broadband network solutions for fixed and mobile operators, today released its Internet traffic trends report, entitled "Global Internet Phenomena Report 1H2013 ", based on data from a selection of Sandvine's 200-plus service provider customers spanning North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Caribbean and Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Data is gathered over a one-month period and is completely subscriber-anonymous. Sandvine's Global Internet Phenomena report is published twice a year. According to the report, Netflix traffic comprises about a third of the web traffic in the U.S., and YouTube is gaining rapidly with 17.11 percent of web traffic downloaded on wireline networks, up from 13.8 percent a year ago. Meanwhile, Sandvine says Amazon and HBO have seen their share of traffic hold steady as well. Amazon dropped from 1.75 percent to 1.31 percent, and that HBO dropped from 0.5 percent to 0.34 percent. But that’s not a lot of movement either way. All these numbers do include data transmitted from a home network, via wifi, to iPads, iPhones, Android tablets etc. And that Sandvine says this kind of "home roaming" accounts for a whopping 20 percent of traffic now, up from 9 percent a year ago.
