Yes, this is what I’m concerned about. Most of the content/cloud people have built networks around the capacity needed to get bits into the networks and often aggressively peer. The corporate office that is behind one incumbent that now has a global set of people doing VPN activities at 10x the prior capacity of a week ago may have a harder time fitting. I expect there will be areas which see a higher base load that contributes to seeing the peaks earlier. - Jared
