It is impressionistic, but with the stay-at-home measures in place, I seem to be using less than 40 megabytes of mobile data per week. Shocking. I haven’t checked fixed network consumption, but since I work from home anyhow I do not believe that usage profile has changed very much. The phone stays on Wi-Fi virtually all day now since I’m not going anywhere the Wi-Fi does not reach.
Internet service provider Starry notes the rise of customer internet access usage between January 13 and March 20 in three Starry markets. As you might guess, the biggest jumps of at-home usage happen between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., times when many people otherwise would be at work or school.
Not all the at-home usage is incremental, though. Some usage that would have occurred at business or school now is reduced.
