As the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks faced off at Super Bowl XLIX, Verizon customers at the stadium racked up more than 25 million wireless connections -- nearly 25,000 per minute. The tweets, texts, status updates and more sent by Verizon customers immediately before, during and after the game in Glendale added up to 4.1 terabytes of data, compared to 1.9 terabytes during the 2014 Super Bowl. That number represents 3.67 billion social media posts, 10 million emails, 1.9 million web pages accessed and more than 122,000 videos shared.
