I guess I now am prepared to upgrade my home network into the ~1Gbps class, before inviting 1000 engineers over ;)

Joking aside, how representative is this ratio of users to peak traffic for what you know about residential users? I am not looking for anything more than a very coarse replay, like same order of magnitude or not ;)

On the subject of how much bandwidth does one household need, here's a fun stat for you.

 

At the IETF’s 118th meeting last week (Nov 4 – 10, 2023), there were over 1,000 engineers in attendance. At peak there were 870 devices connected to the WiFi network. Peak bandwidth usage:

  • Downstream peak ~750 Mbps
  • Upstream ~250 Mbps
