I think if there is any bottleneck it will be on the local loop. You
need to ask Covad and whoever it is that is supplying the local cable
internet. I doubt the internet backbone will be affected.

Good morning,
I am hoping that you can help me find the answer to an issue of concern
to many of our member companies. Many of our firms have been developing
business continuity plans in the event of a avian flu pandemic. Some of
plans call for individuals to work from home and telecommute. Concerns
have been raised that so many people will be on line (e.g. those working
at home, kids staying home because of school closures, etc.), that the
internet will come screeching to a standstill. This is a huge concern
with our financial services sector. Is this a realistic concern? Are
we asking the right questions? Do you have anyone who could meet with a
group of businesses in Stamford, Connecticut that have raised this
issue. I have been unsuccessful in getting a response from various
internet service providers.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
Regards,
Tanya M. Court
