Altnet Glide recorded its highest ever-data usage peak on the 15th of February, overtaking the previously recorded spike in December 2022 during the World cup.

At around 9 pm, Glide customers were using a combined 438 Gbps showing a 75% increase in peak usage since early 2021.

This was due to season two of Call of Duty’s release, alongside matches between Arsenal and Manchester City as well as Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund.

Glide’s network has been increasing year-on-year nearly doubling the altnet’s demands since 2021.

Lewis Robinson, Glides Network Architect, said: “At Glide we ensure the Core, Peering and Transit networks have the resiliency and capacity to deliver the overall network's requirements, this includes the ability to deliver peak traffic even in failure scenarios.”
