Pro and College Football Midseason Data Usage
We’re half way through football season and dreams of a championship are on every fans’ mind. We don’t know yet who will win the big game, but when it comes to data usage, AT&T football fans are a dream team.
Since the season starter, fans have flocked to stadiums across the country – ready to share all the action from the stands with friends and family. During the 2016 midseason matchups of both college and pro football, mobile data usage totaled 37 TB. That’s equal to more than 107 million selfies!
That’s a lot of data—and even more team spirit.
From nail-biting double-overtimes in college games to rival showdowns for the pros, there has been plenty to talk about. And the data speaks for itself.
- Compared to the midway point for college football in 2015, we experienced a nearly 85% increase in data usage.
- Compared to the halfway mark for pro football in 2015, we experienced a nearly 90% increase in data usage.
