At Westmont we've seen a significant increase, but not as large as reported
by others on this list.  I'm eyeballing this off a rough graph, but the
median number of devices on a given week per month is as follows.
Oct 2011: 2000
Nov 2011: 2000
Dec 2011: 2200
Jan 2012: 2500
Looks like a 10% Black Friday increase and about 15% Christmas increase.

Most of the devices that are connecting are Mac laptops, iPhones and iPads.
