Is anyone keeping statistics about internet usage during COVID-19?


As many countries are in lockdown it will be really interesting to see some usage data....

Google tracks how many people connect with IPv6, which is a metric for how many people are staying at home:

IPv6 connections peak in the weekend and over the Christmas break, when people are connecting from home.

My gigabit home internet was consistently up/down at 890-920mbps but since the outbreak it is only at 490-510mbps. :(

I only can say that I read that the major internet service providers on Spain are nearly at the limit of what can handle.
