Who won the greatest use of bandwidth among our internet go-tos? Youtube headed up the social network in Saudi Arabia with an estimated 22.5 percent of total daily data consumption. Facebook came in second with 8.1 percents, followed by the Playstation Network with 7.8 percent (hello, gamers!), Snapchat (7.6 percent), and finally Netflix with 6.2 percent. Is your favorite platform on here?
We expect to see the internet daily consumption shoot up again with the rising numbers of telecommuters and online students, and public-sector organizations providing more online services in Saudi Arabia.
