When we last checked in with Sandvine's stat trackers, Netflix reigned supreme (http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/08/sandvine-netflix-29-percent-of-north-american-internet-traffic/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) in online video traffic at home, especially downstream. It's still sitting pretty several months later, Sandvine tells AllThingsD. Quite possibly helped by the House of Cards debut (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/01/netflix-streaming-house-of-cards-premiere-free/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), Netflix kept a healthy lead at 32.3 percent of downstream use on wired networks this past March. That's no mean feat when some of its competition took big strides forward -- YouTube jumped up to 17.1 percent, and Hulu likely rode sweeps season to get 2.4 percent.
In mobile, it's a different story. Netflix use on cellular almost doubled to 4 percent, but YouTube kept an uncontested lead at 27.3 percent of downstream use. It's not hard to see why after looking at other video formats people prefer on the road: raw HTTP video (19.2 percent) and Facebook (8.6 percent) were the next-closest, which suggests that many still grab snack-sized videos on their phones instead of full movies or TV shows. We don't expect the status quo to budge much in the near future, whether it's on mobile or a fixed-line. Without major initiatives from veterans or the arrival of a new upstart, it isn't clear just what would rock the boat.
