    (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Netflix is taking a big bite from the web.

    A new study shows the movie streaming company accounts for nearly 30 percent of all traffic on the web in North America during prime time hours.

    Web browsing makes up less than 17 percent of traffic at that time.

    The numbers are even more staggering when you consider only 25 percent of broadband-enabled homes subscribe to Netflix.
