UK broadband usage more than doubled in 2020 and peaked on Boxing Day
UK broadband usage more than doubled in 2020, largely due to home working in lockdown, live-streamed sport and updates to video games such as Call of Duty, a new report reveals. One petabyte equals one million gigabytes (GB). On average a 4K film stream uses about 7.2GB per hour. Boxing Day was named the busiest day of the year for broadband – when a record 210PB was consumed across Openreach's networks – due to a combination of video calls to catch up with family and the lure of online entertainment. This year, network usage on Christmas Day was nearly double that of last year – 181PB compared with 96PB.

'Dating Sunday': The busiest day of the year for online dating is Jan. 5
If you're single and your New Year's resolution was to rev up the romance, then Sunday, Jan. 5 might be the best day to immerse yourself in dating apps. Dubbed "Dating Sunday" or "Singles Sunday," the superficial holiday is the busiest online dating day of the year, according to several dating apps and websites. The date falls at the intersection of several cultural influences, making it "the perfect trifecta" for singles looking to find love, according to Julie Spira, a cyber-dating expert and author of "The Perils of Cyber-Dating." "You have people recovering from a breakup or who were down during the holidays, you have all those New Year's resolutions, and you have the clock ticking down to Valentine's Day," Spira said. The date also falls toward the tail-end of "cuffing season," where otherwise promiscuous adults seek to be tied down by a relationship. Young adults are often working during the weekdays and out socializing on Saturday, so Sundays tend to be the busiest day of the week for web dating throughout the year in general.
