Mike, For those nets with a higher peak in the evenings, the graphs will flatten out. If you're struggling any given weekday evening, you'll be in trouble from the start. Major events and software releases are what will use up available buffers. IMO the Disney+ surprise was a good thing. It forced networks to realize they needed more capacity. Disney+ streaming isn't what it was but if you've been adding capacity as a result of it, you're in better shape to weather the latest network surges. -- Stephen On 2020-03-12 19:02, Mike Hammett wrote:
Just imagine all of those people streaming Netflix and playing COD all day instead of only a few hours at night.

With talk of there being an involuntary statewide (WA) and then national quarantines (house arrest) for multiple weeks, has anyone put thought into the impacts of this on your networks if/when this comes to fruition?
We're already pushing the limits with telecommuters / those that are WFH, but I can only imagine what things will look like with everyone stuck at home for any duration of time.
