Iivo Niskanen’s gold skiing got the Finns on the net.
Iivo Niskanen’s golden skiing on the Zhangjiakou trails came during the worst working hours, but it seems that it has not prevented Finns from watching the competition.
According to Finland’s largest internet operators, internet use was considerably busier than usual on Fridays.
The amount of mobile data going on Elisa’s network on Friday morning was 85 percent higher than on a normal Friday.
– Iivo’s skiing has thus been monitored in large numbers with devices utilizing the mobile network, and the event has also generated a lot of other traffic to the network, Elisa’s department manager Tiina Höckert says by email.
With DNA, mobile traffic increased by 50 percent compared to normal use during Niskanen’s gold skiing.
– People have also clearly used the phone for streaming, such as Yle Areena. There is also a spike during the lunch break. People who have not seen it yet or who have wanted to watch it again have wanted to watch the ski, DNA Communications Manager Julia Arko says.
As early as the morning of the race, Telia had the opportunity to confirm that this year’s highs were taken during the race.
Vice President, Telia Networks Sami Siiki says traffic grew by tens of percent during the competition.
– However, it must be remembered that during the corona period the traffic baseline is smaller than during the period before the corona, Siiki says.
