In our iOS 8 review, we said it Apple's latest smartphone update was well worth the wait. Clearly, Brits agreed, because they helped Virgin Media set a new all-time download record. The provider's busiest ever day came on September 17th, day one of downloads, which is impressive in it's own right, because Apple's servers didn't actually go live until 6pm UK time. Virgin saw traffic rise 10 percent compared to the previous week, as the total data consumed reached an impressive 5,900 terabytes. To put it in perspective, that's 11,800 PlayStation 4 hard drives or 1398 times the amount of data IBM's Watson supercomputer had access to when it destroyed all humans on Jeopardy!
