The amount of Internet traffic that is increasing due to the spread of work from home etc. continues to increase by 20 to 30% during the day of weekdays after cancellation of the emergency declaration, compared to before the spread of infection. Report has been put together.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications reported on the 15th at an expert meeting on the influence of the increase in teleworking and online classes due to the spread of the new coronavirus on the internet traffic.
According to this, compared with the end of February before the spread of infection, weekday traffic during the day was the largest with an increase of about 60% in the beginning of last month when a national emergency declaration was issued. .
It has been decreasing since the declaration was lifted, but it is still increasing by about 20 to 30% compared to before the spread of infection.
A person in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications reported that “it is unlikely that we will return to the previous level as a new lifestyle is established, starting from working at home”.
On top of that, he pointed out that although there were no problems with the network as a whole, there were some situations in which the communication speed was slow and it was difficult to connect to online meetings.
Communication companies are trying not to affect the overall service even if the traffic volume is doubled at the peak of nighttime, when the traffic volume increases the most in one day. The idea is to look carefully.
