Google tracks how many people connect with IPv6, which is a metric for how many people are staying at home:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;intl&#x2F;en&#x2F;ipv6&#x2F;statistics.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;intl&#x2F;en&#x2F;ipv6&#x2F;statistics.html</a><p>IPv6 connections peak in the weekend and over the Christmas break, when people are connecting from home.

My gigabit home internet was consistently up&#x2F;down at 890-920mbps but since the outbreak it is only at 490-510mbps. :(

I only can say that I read that the major internet service providers on Spain are nearly at the limit of what can handle.
