Fans racing to pre-load Grand Theft Auto VI pushed Virgin Media O2's broadband network to a record daily data volume on Tuesday. Traffic jumped 51% in the first hour after midnight compared with the week before, and by 9am Wednesday total downloads were 73.3% higher. The anticipated Rockstar game launches on 19 November, and some players plan to book time off work to play it.
