The simple updates for a single machine today range in the 700mb-1.5gb or more range 10.7.2+iTunes+one iOS image. With a variety of devices it could easily be 4gb+ per user. Many broadband users are seeing slow akamai speeds because of these updates. I've seen 2+ hour download times myself.... Jared Mauch On Oct 12, 2011, at 5:41 PM, Chad Burnham <cburnham@du.edu> wrote:
HI,
Our GigaPOP (Front Range GigaPOP) and our own Akamai cache server's traffic jumped significantly today. The theory (no data) is the Apple updates released today.

With all of Apple's updates today (MacOS, iOS, Apps, etc) we saw a big increase on one of our links to our ISP at 1pm Eastern.
Did anyone else notice significant traffic jumps on their networks?
