Netflix
The percentage is even higher in the United States where 19{a18c87a46add82dbee5e4fa4c0cab30d5f6e3bbf78c3f52c3c01413f7f531a16} of all internet traffic is Netflix related. On Friday and Saturday nights, Netflix can hit a peak usage of 40{a18c87a46add82dbee5e4fa4c0cab30d5f6e3bbf78c3f52c3c01413f7f531a16} of all internet bandwidth.
