This morning my partner disconnected the modem when vacuuming and we both panicked that the internet was down. It's unfathomable, at this time, how critical this service has become for so many of us, who would perhaps live first without running water than lose connectivity.. Applause to the brave souls keeping our infrastructure up.
I support a couple hundred people working from home and have seen multiple cases where 'fiber' internet was getting <3mbps and 150+ms average, making VoIP and even RDP pretty awful to use.<p>CenturyLink seems to be the worst offender so far. They must <i>really</i> over provision.
