If we have a mass work-from-home effort, I wonder if will there be a noticeable impact to the USA's internet backbone.
So far on Xfinity it is having no effect. I have 1Gb/sec down, 40 Mb/sec up. Speedtest showed 980 Mb/sec down, 43 Mb/sec up.

maybe I don’t understand but wouldn’t you still have the same number of people on that backbone?
In addition to normal traffic you have a lot of new video streams with elementary to colleges all streaming lessons. And often having conference services that allow watchers to raise virtual hand and asks questions, and presenters to answer.
