Roger thinks it could be related to this change:

  o Minor bugfixes (statistics):
    - Increase period over which bandwidth observations are aggregated
      from 15 minutes to 4 hours. Fixes bug 13988; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.

If that's so, the likeliest explanation is that Globe is not
displaying the bandwidths correctly with the new intervals.  Trying to
get it investigated...
