The most recent annual study produced by Sandvine Inc. indicates two important findings regarding the use of the Internet. According to this report, in North America, P2P traffic has actually decreased from the year 2008. This contradicts corporate ISPs' reasons for throttling. Large ISPs claim that they should be able to throttle P2P networks because they slow down Internet bandwidth for other Internet users. The Sandvine report states that P2P traffic has decreased in North America and due to this, it does not take up as much Internet bandwidth as before.

Another interesting finding from this report is the change of North America's Internet peak time. It has apparently decreased. Last year, peak time was between 6 PM and 11 PM. Now, it is between 7 PM and 11 PM. This also opposes one of Bell's claims, which is: "its peak-time runs from 4:30 pm to 2:00 am."
