The use of the British Internet during the day witnessed a sharp rise, as adults and children alike became at home during the hours from 9 in the morning until 5 in the evening, so the traffic traffic on the Internet in the United Kingdom nearly doubled within three weeks after the outbreak of the Corona virus , as Data from Openreach , which owns and operates most of the UK's broadband lines, revealed that during the day the data consumption doubled.
According to the British newspaper "Daily Mail", on March 9th, the total data used between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. was 27 petabytes, and on Monday, 30 March, this number reached 51 petabytes, almost twice the previous number.
A spokesman for Openreach said: "On Monday we saw 51 petabytes of data over the network between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., compared to 46 bp last Monday.
He added, "The peak times during the day continue between 2 pm and 5 pm, while the evening peak is between 8 pm and 11 pm."
The data from the Openreach network revealed an increase every week since March 9, before implementing the social isolation measures, so the number rose on March 16, and after another week this jumped significantly, and on the first business day of this week, the number rose again.
The continuous increase in internet consumption is due to the increased use of video calls at work, and for children in TV broadcasts and games.
