I'm on a small local company for wireless Internet access. Normally the sp eeds are adequate and I don't notice problems. But with everyone staying a t home the drag on the Internet is noticeable here. Pretty much every even ing it gets bad by 8 pm until around 11. I think more people are staying u p later since they aren't working.
I keep a window open that monitors the ping times and at good times like no w I see teens and 20s ms like I do now. When it gets bad the times range a ll the way up to 100 ms and one in 10 time out or worse. Videos get grainy and phone calls get glitches.
I assume those on cable don't have these problems. I have read that the In ternet providers are working hard to make sure everyone has what they need and have removed data caps. I'd be willing to bet most people don't realiz e they have data caps.
