Akamai set a new company record when web traffic delivered across our edge network peaked at 250 terabits per second (Tbps).
As is often the case with these peak traffic milestones, a high-profile sporting event and major video game download were the primary drivers. To put that into perspective, at 250 Tbps you could download every feature film ever made in 37 seconds. Of course, it would take 51 straight years of nonstop viewing to watch them all.
There’s more data where that came from
