Re: [Indiana] COVID-19 Hotspots

2020-04-17 Thread Adam Kennedy
We have hotspots in several cities across Indiana and surrounding states.
There is a map on our website here:
https://watchcomm.net/uncategorized/public-wifi-hotspots/

I can get a list of city names if needed.

We've seen roughly a 37% increase. Went from aggregate 14.5Gbit/s to
roughly 20Gbit/s since March 10th and people are asking for more. It's
crazy how much bandwidth people are using. We haven't ran reports based on
destination AS yet but might be interesting to see what the "critical"
services are. I'm sure we all already assume it's Netflix, Disney+, and
Prime Video :)

I just wanted to say thank you to the organizers of the event. It was a
great day putting faces to names and meeting everyone. And a huge thanks

I'll need to pass it by the management but I could probably provide tour of
our cage space at 365 Main/Data Centers there at Henry Street as well.
Pretty much fully redundant setup from bow to stern.
