Sorry – I think we saw the same article! From: Geoff Bennett Sent: Friday, April 17, 2020 2:11 PM To: Christian <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: RE: [uknof] Fwd: [IP] COVID-19 Internet Usage Update (US)
I think BT did a press release saying how traffic was increasing after the lockdown. But here’s another view. JANET is the UK NREN so university and R&E traffic. https://shapingthefutureofjanet.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2020/04/15/more-observations-on-janet-traffic-during-lockdown/<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshapingthefutureofjanet.jiscinvolve.org%2Fwp%2F2020%2F04%2F15%2Fmore-observations-on-janet-traffic-during-lockdown%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cgbennett%40infinera.com%7Cc43a6a35bfa0480be39d08d7e2cf93bd%7C285643de5f5b4b03a1530ae2dc8aaf77%7C1%7C0%7C637227253476001603&sdata=cv5CqkR6LD8akJ%2BPOvB%2FzFVGdCYPDVPlxlKVkhvYXeQ%3D&reserved=0> From: uknof <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> On Behalf Of Christian Sent: Friday, April 17, 2020 9:26 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [uknof] Fwd: [IP] COVID-19 Internet Usage Update (US) CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

Some data points of note: * Network growth has slowed substantially and in many areas has plateaued, especially in the cities that started stay-at-home orders earlier. This is likely an indicator that, given currently available apps, all the people that can work/study from home are and they are at their maximum daily usage of screens/devices. * Peak has increased since March 1, +32% in upstream traffic & +18% in downstream. * Downstream peak used to start at 9 PM, now starts earlier - between 7 PM – 8 PM * Upstream peak used to start 9 PM, now starts between 8 AM and 6 PM in most cities. (This is a significant change, driven by video conferencing and work VPN usage.) * Video/voice conferencing +228% * VPN +40% * Video streaming +77% * For our MVNO: -19% LTE usage, +49% WiFi usage Also NCTA (cable-based ISPs) updated their page at https://www.ncta.com/whats-new/peak-broadband-traffic-continues-remain-steady<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncta.com%2Fwhats-new%2Fpeak-broadband-traffic-continues-remain-steady&data=02%7C01%7Cgbennett%40infinera.com%7C1d696ddfd4484a7bda9608d7e2cc1c91%7C285643de5f5b4b03a1530ae2dc8aaf77%7C1%7C0%7C637227238643081928&sdata=uUxMbobyJqApCGRsqy3KSGkBqje9u9rlI5Jy9te0F4A%3D&reserved=0> * Network Augmentation: Once engineers identify areas that need attention, technicians install additional hardware, extend fiber and more to ensure the network is performing well. For some cable providers, these efforts are up as much as 300% in a given week. * Downstream & upstream peak growth flat for 2nd consecutive week.
