Lotsa Bits

Netflix is now the net's largest source of traffic, using an astounding 22% of the internet's total bandwidth, 30% during prime-time. I imagine this is the reason I get some pauses on high-def movies during peak hours - I'm sure how ever many servers Netflix has, it isn't enough. Facebook isn't in the top four, mainly because most Facebook data is small and doesn't require much bandwidth.
