Re: Work from Home and other dynamics

For those ISPs who have high-capacity DIA/IP transit circuits (10Gbps+)
feeding major corporate campuses, I'm curious what the traffic charts M-F
look like compared to previous weeks. Particularly for what time it begins
to rise sharply in the morning, and the daily peak value. I have a theory
that such customers in the Seattle area may have particularly odd traffic
patterns at present.

Anecdotally for a few things I have access to I am seeing much lower than
normal office worker DIA usage.
