It's doing the rounds on other "news" sites aka it's a PR puff piece designed to spread FUD for Digital Island's own interests. See http://itbrief.co.nz/story/windows-10-upgrade-causing-ufb-congestion/
How does the same article get "written" by Regan Schoultz and Shannon Williams?
As far as I can see UFB hasn't broken a sweat, on our own network all we've observed is a bit of an increase in Akamai traffic but to say it's causing congestion is wrong because this is precisely what the UFB network is designed to handle (and it is!).

Subject: [nznog] Win10 downloads causing UFB congestion?
Hello NZNOG,
I was reading this:
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11495508
just now, which says the Windows 10 upgrade is overwhelming capacity on the UFB (which bit of it?).
It’s a single source however, and I was wondering if there are other data points for the traffic increase to look at?
Not sure if this is operational as such, so please email me off-list if so.
Thanks
