    I've never even heard of those companies that are providing the fastest download speeds.

    UK population = 64 million
    ROI population = 4.6 million

    64/4.5 = 14

    Weekly Steam Download ROI = 173.3 TB (0.1733 PB)
    Weekly Steam Download UK = 4 PB

    4/0.1733 = 23

    So we use just over half the Steam traffic per capita than the UK or perhaps half the Steam users per capita. I wonder whjy that is? More consoles usage per capita in Ireland? less purchases on Steam than UK?

    HEANET is the educational system and Liberty Global is a cable company, no doubt providing fibre to large corporations.

    Tbh the average rate per user for ireland is quite high @ 12.9 Mbp when you consider that the only time people will download is when they buy a game or theres some patches, i would say my steam is idle for 99% of the time.

    Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means
