99.99% of my userbase is in the rural Midwest. Needless to say I saw no
increase in bandwidth consumption. Now if it was a streaming memorial
for George Strait, Garth Brooks, Little Jimmy Dickens or Willie Nelson I
suspect the consumption would have been noticeably higher. I'm sure I
would have had much higher bandwidth usage if the PBR National
Championship was made available for streaming.
