Hi, Raymond --
We see similar changes to traffic in the internet exchange world when
someone changes their connection from 1GE to 10GE. Before they turn
up additional sessions, they often peer more traffic, which I
attribute to sliding window doing its thing, and eventually user
behaviour altering.
It's encouraging that your customers' internet performance experiences
are improving - do share your upgrade stories with other providers in
your region !
Best wishes,
Andy
