Internet traffic will grow 7-fold by 2016 in Australia, network giant Cisco has forecast. <\/p>\n

Traffic will reach 708 Petabytes – thats 1 million Gigabytes – per month in 2016, up from 97 PB in 2011 – or to put it another way its equivalent to 2 billion DVDs per year. <\/p>\n

Cisco forecasts Internet usage among Aussies will grow 49% every year until 2016. <\/p>\n

And the gigabyte equivalent of all movies ever made will cross the Internet every 8 hours, according to Cisco’s VNI Forecast<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But it seems we will also be accessing the Net via our smartphone and tablets even more – with mobile data traffic to grow 14-fold in the next four years, at an astonishing 68% growth rate yearly.<\/p>\n

There will be 142 million networked devices in 2016, up from 93 m in 2011.<\/p>\n

We will be watching more web videos – 14 billion minutes per month – whether its posted on YouTube or streamed content or catch up TV from the likes of ABC iView, compared to just 4 bn now. <\/p>\n

Or to put it another way, Aus Internet traffic in 2016 will be equivalent to watching 242,418 DVDs per hour. <\/p>\n

And we will each use generate 30.1 GB of Internet traffic per month in 2016, on average – thats a whopping 577% rise from the paltry 4.5 GB we currently use. <\/p>\n

And almost 13% of all Internet households in Oz (757,889) will be generating more than a massive 100 GB per month in 2016, up from 54,692 last year. <\/p>\n

However, it seems our internet speeds will also be faster – 95% of broadband connections will be “faster than 5 Mbps in 2016” the forecast also indicates. <\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

Last week NBN Co Chief Mike Quigley revealed 37 % of active users on high speed fibre network are opting for the fastest speed tier, 100Mbps down and 40Mbps up.<\/p>\n

NBN service is said to be partly completed by 2015, just in time to deliver the high speeds hungry Internet users in Oz will demand. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
