The LINX, TORIX, and SIX graphs provided earlier, for example, seem relatively flat until the Nov. timeframe at which point they seem to seek a new higher "normal". Could just be my lack of sleep and my biased opinion though. As one might infer, I'm trying to find evidence corroborating my own experiences. My theory being that all of those cool Internet connected toys (Blue Ray, TVs, Ipads, etc) that hit the market this past year have lead to a substantial increase in residential Internet traffic. If that were true, I guess I'd expect that enterprise oriented service providers would not see the same uptick as residential

Thanks again to all have responded (and anyone else that might still).

David, you may also want to try to correlate the addition of participants to the peering fabric to bandwidth growth. I know TorIX shows on their main page the date when new participants joined the exchange. http://www.torix.net/ For example, Microsoft jointed on 9/3/10. You may be able to see a rise in usage shortly after. Thanks Sameer
