It’s safe to say that this global coronavirus pandemic has been a wild ride. And an unexpected one too.
Governments worldwide are urging millions to practice “social distancing”. They are asking people to stay indoors to curb the virus’s spread.
This means a lot more people are working remotely. They’re also searching for ways to entertain themselves at home.
Consequently, shifts in our everyday routines are causing spikes in internet traffic across the globe. The use of streaming services for movies, TV shows, and live television has also seen a huge jump.
Here’s what Cloudflare discovered about internet usage in a recent report:
- Internet traffic in Seattle surged by 40% in the first week of March. This is in comparison to previous weeks.
- Internet traffic in northern Italy has jumped by over 30% compared to earlier this year.
