U.S. Cable Internet Demand Stays Flat, After Initially Jumping Because of Stay-at-Home Policies

U.S. cable operators have about 66 percent of the installed base of internet access customers, so the performance of cable networks during the stay-at-home policies tells us quite a lot about the speeds and performance most consumers now experience. 


On U.S. cable networks, downstream peak growth remains flat for the second consecutive week, up just 0.65 percent for the week of April 4 to 11, 2000, according to the NCTA.


National upstream peak growth continues to decelerate for the second consecutive week,

up 0.71 percent for the week of April 4 to 11 compared to increases of four percent and seven percent the previous two weeks.


Provider backbone networks have significant capacity and show no signs of congestion, the NCTA says.
