Mike,
For those nets with a higher peak in the evenings, the graphs will
flatten out. If you're struggling any given weekday evening, you'll be
in trouble from the start. Major events and software releases are what
will use up available buffers.
IMO the Disney+ surprise was a good thing. It forced networks to
realize they needed more capacity. Disney+ streaming isn't what it was
but if you've been adding capacity as a result of it, you're in better
shape to weather the latest network surges.

With talk of there being an involuntary statewide (WA) and then national
quarantines (house arrest) for multiple weeks, has anyone put thought
into the impacts of this on your networks if/when this comes to fruition?
We're already pushing the limits with telecommuters / those that are
WFH, but I can only imagine what things will look like with everyone
stuck at home for any duration of time.
