That's not what the bandwidth numbers say.



* The bandwidth numbers are the result of the types of devices and applications the network's end-users use. If the attributes and characteristics of the devices or applications change (desktops/laptops to smartphones/tablets, local apps to 'cloud' apps, "download it all before watching it" (i.e., P2P/bittorrent style distribution) video to on-demand streaming video), then the profile of the traffic on the network might change, and it isn't always guaranteed to go up.
