We are seeing the peak spread out… we carry mostly pacific northwest residential networks… we are also seeing new, slightly higher evening peaks.

Would love to hear if/how capacity is constrained with more people working form home.

WFH traffic is usually different from regular consumer traffic. My neighbors were telling me about the mandatory work from home they had today and how the VPN struggled to work. To those upgrading those things, keep at it. You will get there. Sent from my iCar

I expect other ISPs to quickly follow. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/v74qzb/atandt-suspends-broadband-usage-caps-during-coronavirus-crisis AT&T is the first major ISP to confirm that it will be suspending all broadband usage caps as millions of Americans bunker down in a bid to slow the rate of COVID-19 expansion. Consumer groups and a coalition of Senators are now pressuring other ISPs to follow suit.
