ChatGPT flows doubled in 3 months. Claude grew 3x. For most ISPs, all that traffic lands in an "unclassified" bucket.
Kentik now tracks AI platform traffic as a dedicated OTT category. 🚀
35+ services, 28 providers, and full delivery-path visibility.

6 billion people are watching the World Cup. ⚽️
@DougMadory dug into ISP traffic data: Fox Sports surges, Brazil's entire internet shifts when the Seleção plays, and the second half almost always beats the first.

Someone sawed through a fiber cable in a manhole, and Syria lost 22% of its internet traffic.
@DougMadory analyzed last week's Aletar cable sabotage: the BGP shifts, the 50-hour recovery, and why this fits a troubling pattern since Assad's fall.

Syrian Subsea Cable Link Downed in Latest Act of Telecom Sabotage
The Aletar cable was sabotaged on land, a move consistent with a broader pattern of infrastructure attacks targeting the country since the 2024 change in government.

"Not having Kentik is unacceptable." ✅
See how customers like @Midcontinent, @Imperva, and @metronet, and more use Kentik to automate DDoS defense and optimize their edge.👇
I absolutely love hearing from our customers. In just a few months at Kentik, the volume of overwhelmingly positive feedback has been phenomenal — from network operators all the way up through procurement, CxOs, and other execs.
"It's answering questions in a matter of seconds instead of hours."
We spoke with engineering leaders from @Midcontinent, @metronet, and @ConwayCorp about how Kentik AI Advisor is changing their workflows.
In their words, "It frees up my engineers to do the real engineering."
💪

"You have a fault on your meter"
"I do? How did you figure that out?
"we detected it"
"how?"
"your meter is outdated"
"so it's not fault then?"
"no - we want to automatically collect readings"
TLDR; Don't lie to your customers.

If anyone's randomly had the issue where their @Apple laptop with an ext. monitor random dumps all their windows off-screen... Turning off my Unlock with Apple Watch and waiting for ~5s before smashing in my password seems to have stopped it. Open to a more perm solution though!
Love this guy. The subtitles are epic. Great way to start the day 🤣
