Talk:Internet rush hour

Internet transparency
Bandwidth throttling section was not directly related to the topic of the article: Internet Rush Hour. I have tried to rephrase it in a more objective way stating the technical problems : the pipes are too small to support peak hour traffic - who must pay to increase the pipe size?

US Rush Hour?
Would the Rush Hour for the US be at the same hours of the day (7-11 pm)? Or should we just calculate the time zone difference from the UK (making the rush hour here 2-6 pm ET)? Thanks2602:306:CD9B:E9A0:81B2:5C19:A28E:BC1C (talk) 11:21, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

All massively out of date
All the cited source references are at least six years old on this subject, so must be way off the truth by now in the fast-moving world of the net. For example, a 24-hour chart showing peak web use in 2017 suggests 9am to midday to be the common daily peak, in contrast to the times of 7pm to 11pm given in this article's intro from a source dated 2011.

== 2607:F2C0:9238:F600:283A:A1F0:50ED:9701 (talk) 21:38, 16 April 2021 (UTC)line 4 on Google Analytica data. ==

The reference 2 originally shows the graph of "conversion rate" per hour of the day, namely showing how much % of the web visitor really, e.g., buy the item shown in the website. Obviously people do not make a decision at 4 AM. Therefore the lines 4 and 5 are not on the traffic in the internet. Please delete them. 2 in the article.

Still relevant
Is this still a thing? Internet infrastcuture is no longer affected by the same consumer constraints it used to be, and things like streaming are far more relevant now. Given it's so out of date, should we be deleting this articel? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonnyboy5 (talk • contribs) 11:25, 23 June 2022 (UTC)


 * While the article is old, it still seems to be a thing:
 * This article reminds people to focus on latency too, https://circleid.com/posts/20231211-its-the-latency-fcc
 * Here's a 2019 article from the BBC looking at when people in the UK use internet the most: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-49880018
 * finally here's a report on measured latency over time, and with a daily cadence once again from the UK: https://samknows.com/blog/samknows-critical-services-report-uk
 * I think internet congestion for streaming can be much worse. It will cause data loss in the stream, and possible stalls due to routing changes.
 * But being that a quick search for this seemed to hint at UK pages, is this a UK phenomenon, or turn of phrase? Russetrob (talk) 00:39, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
