Is anybody else's "internets" running really slow tonight?

I wonder as America shuts down and more and more people go online will slow speeds
be a fact of life?

Look I get the feeling that we are in for a shit storm the will rage around us for God knows how long
but if I can't download youtube videos of 'gators crossing fences I will be lost.

10. Netflix over Charter in St. Louis has image quality problems

While watching a movie this afternoon, the image quality on Netflix was degraded...I'm guessing it might be due to bandwidth issues on Charter cable internet.

I was wondering how all these people staying home and/or working from home is going to impact internet speeds...

So okay, so far. I'm thinking about all the heat generated in the data centers and the electricity requirements on the horizon.
