This recent trend is reminiscent of my son’s liking for his toothpaste-like spinach smoothie – increasing at an alarming rate!

Beginning from a strength of 800 Gbps at the onset of 2023, we now witness peaks shooting up to a mindboggling 1.5+ Tbps. To give you some perspective, that’s like swapping a mere snail race for a full-throttle F1 Grand Prix – quite the digital acceleration there!
