Coronavirus: Internet speeds are already slowing down in all parts of the world
Studies by one of the most popular internet speed test sites, Speedtest.net , indicate that the quarantine is already having an impact on the area. According to data from the aforementioned site, this period is already the highest in simultaneous accesses of all time. Below, a survey will be shown in some countries, to get an idea of the situation in each of these locations.
United States
With the exception of establishments with essential demands, such as hospitals, supermarkets, clinics and pharmacies, all types of businesses are required to close their doors for an indefinite period, following a decree from the US government.
At the same time, several companies have already asked their employees to work from home , in addition to several schools and colleges that have promptly suspended classes or relocated them to the linkedin data online world, a method known as EaD (Distance Learning). Thus, the increase in the use of the internet for streaming , communication or leisure is inevitable.
China and Italy
The growth in the number of simultaneous users was notable in the Asian country in mid-January, at the height of the health crisis in the country. In the European country, the same has been happening since the end of last month, with overcrowding of connections.
Brazil
Finally, here in Brazil, the crisis is still in its early stages, but it is expected to last for months. Just like in the countries mentioned, as demand increases, connection speeds will also decrease. Therefore, it makes no sense for telecommunications companies to offer larger internet packages during this period if they do not have the necessary infrastructure to deliver on their offer.
Additionally, streaming sites such as Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube, HBO, among others, may reduce the quality of their broadcasts in order to reduce traffic volume.
