Every year, Telstra blogs a summary of the highs (and greater highs) of customer impact on their network.
The short summary, four of the ten biggest download weeks of 2019 on the fixed network were dominated by Fortnite releases.
The Mandalorian and Cricket World Cup delivered two more big weeks and the other four weeks were mostly linked to public holidays (bored teenagers?).
