While desktop usage has declined, smart TVs, "connected" games consoles etc have exploded which take a similar place. And I assume most smartphone bandwidth consumption is on wifi at home, not cellular, though don't know if you are making that point. In the UK which has virtually no bandwidth caps on fixed line broadband bandwidth use isn't growing particularly fast: https://www.linx.net/news/capacity-planning-a-priority-for-linx-networks/ https://www.linx.net/news/capacity-planning-a-priority-for-l..., despite a huge increase in FTTH availability. You can see the same in Amsterdam: https://www.ams-ix.net/ams/documentation/total-stats https://www.ams-ix.net/ams/documentation/total-stats which is basically flat Y/Y. This may be because of more private peering away from IXs but if there was massive growth you'd see it.
