State of the Internet in Sweden 2020-03-23 16:00
The Internet continues to work well in Sweden.
Internationally the view is similar. The Internet continues to work well. Yesterday's peak use has become today's normal. However, as networks are designed for peak usage, the amount of upgrades needed is relatively low. That said, congestion points have required upgrades, and more such upgrades will be needed. Many services have also seen upgrades to handle a significant increase in traffic.
Currently it seems people outside the sector are more worried about the Internet’s ability to cope than people working in the sector.
