Blue Jays Fans Break Internet data Records During World Series
Recently, Rogers Communications revealed some extraordinary statistics regarding the first three games of the Blue Jays versus Dodgers World Series. The Toronto-based telecommunications company reported that fans across Canada set new records for internet data usage during these thrilling matchups.
According to Rogers, customers using their Xfinity service consumed a staggering 145,000 terabytes (TB) of data throughout Games 1, 2, and 3. to put this into perspective, that amount of data is equivalent to streaming a three-minute video of Addison Barger hitting a grand slam an astonishing 1.28 billion times!
Impressive Stats from Rogers' Network
The company shared several noteworthy figures related to its network performance during the World Series:
- “nearly half of our TV subscribers tuned in to watch the games on Rogers Xfinity TV.”
- “During Game 3—which extended over an astonishing 18 innings—our users utilized about 65,000 TB on the Rogers wireline network. This is like sharing a photo of Alejandro Kirk hitting a home run around 23 billion times!”
- “for Games 1 and 2 combined,our customers used more than 80,000 TB on our wireline network.”
- “Fans attending Game 1 at Rogers Center generated an impressive wireless data usage of approximately 6.8 TB—the highest ever recorded for a home game in Toronto.”
On a personal note, I found it amusing that my roommate had to rely on his Rogers mobile data to catch Game 3 due to our unreliable Bell Wi-Fi at home.
