The German internet exchange operator De-Cix said made the announcement this week that they have reached a new peak of over 9.1 Tbps at its site in Frankfurt. The use of the internet is increasing due to COVID-19 which has caused the internet traffic to go up to level never seen.
De-Cix previously said it expected to reach a new peak of 9 Tbps by the end of 2020, based on the development of traffic in recent years and on expected seasonal trends. In February, it recorded a new all-time traffic peak of 8.3 Tbps.
