>To put that 800Gbps figure into perspective, the internet only handles around half an exabyte of traffic every day, which equates to around 50Tbps — in other words, a single porn site accounts for almost 25% of the internet’s total traffic.

That should be more like 1.6% if those numbers are correct...

Still an absurd amount of traffic.
