I was getting blasted earlier for suggesting streaming services and gaming DLCs could likely be slowed by government intervention. EU is currently working with Netflix to do just that. It's currently a strong suggestion and even a plead but I maintain that we're going to see this pushed harder in the coming weeks.
In a statement on Thursday, Breton said that given the unprecedented situation, streaming platforms, telecom operators and users "all have a joint responsibility to take steps to ensure the smooth functioning of the internet during the battle against the virus propagation."

We do about 70-80Gbps at peak over the external BGP links we have and I am not seeing a large increase nor am I seeing it spread out over time. We're an eyeball network plus some really large customers.
Anyone else seeing something different? We're now into the 3rd day, so I thought I'd see something change by now.
South Africa and a few other African countries put countries on semi-lockdown from about Sunday.
We've seen a 15% increase in peak traffic on our network since the 17th.
