I run a couple distinct very small networks.  Both are transit-only with 
no direct peering or local caching and generally sub-gbps.

One set a new 1-min 95% record and did so by nearly 25% over its 
previous record.  The other matched its existing record.  The former 
thankfully has ample capacity, while the latter thankfully did so before 
primetime.

These are definitely going to be harder to manage than the primetime 
hump.  It would be nice if things could drop overnight to hopefully 
spread things out during the daytime lull some.  I understand that some 
people won't pick it up until they get home and turn on devices (which 
is often after school hours for these type of game updates), but 
spreading things out would be really nice especially for those of us 
without local caching.
