Taylor Swift fans on the Rogers 5G network shattered previous sharing and streaming records at Rogers Centre on Nov. 21.
Swifties set a new record for sharing and streaming the most content ever at a single event at the venue, using 7.4 terabytes (TB) of mobile data in just a few hours – the equivalent of uploading 182,000 photos and 1,600 hours of video streaming.
“Taylor breaks records wherever she goes and her fans’ data usage at her Toronto shows was no exception,” said Rogers Chief Technology Officer Mark Kennedy. “Our network at Rogers Centre saw more traffic every night of the tour than any other event.”
Rogers completed an $8 million upgrade to its 5G network at Rogers Centre this fall, enabling it to deliver three times more 5G network capacity throughout the stadium – the equivalent coverage of 33 towers in downtown Toronto.
The previous record at Rogers Centre was set by Indian entertainer Diljit Dosanjh in July of this year when fans consumed 5.4TB of data.
Over the course of Swift’s six, sold-out Toronto dates, fans on the Rogers 5G network at Rogers Centre used 42TB of data.
