Indeed, but that would imply a shorter, sharper dip for the weekend and a broader (5-day) peak. My thought is that it could be an artifact of cacheing strategies and expiry times amongst large providers (AOL alone should have an appreciable effect if there's a periodicity to their cacheing. That would also explain Apple _not_ showing periodicity, if their use of Akamai is masking it. Of course this is pure pint-in-a-pub speculation (though - coincidentally - I am qualified to call myself a statistician:-) -- Nick Kew
