Will Corona Virus Stress Networks?

We might soon get a good test of internet service provider network resiliency, as Corona virus precautions keep more people at home. In Spain, IP networks have experienced increases of nearly 40 percent,  while mobile use has increased by about 50 percent in voice and 25 percent in data, Telefonica says.

But service providers have generally not seen congestion issues, at least not yet. Most likely believe core networks are up to the challenge. App providers might face some greater challenges, though.
