UK internet traffic rose by almost a third during England's crucial World Cup match against Slovenia.

Figures released by internet service provider KC suggest that the game triggered a 31% jump in web traffic, as users watched the game via the BBC's live online stream.

Early figures suggest the total number of 'concurrent streams' peaked at 800,000 although the total number of viewers will be many times higher.

I was driving back from Cambridge while the game was on. There was a massive hike in ******* lorries on the road too. So real traffic also went up.
 
I thought something like that happened. The iPlayer usually streams fine on my below average line, but it started jumping, so I just put it on the TV.
