On Saturdays and Sundays on the second half of the weekend, when the self-control of going out was called for, on the second and third days of the month, internet traffic during the daytime increased by up to 14% compared to before infection spread.
According to NTT Communications, which provides Internet connection services, the amount of Internet traffic from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on weekdays last week was the largest compared to the week of February 25, before the impact of the spread of infection became significant. Increased by 53%.
The number of people using the Internet at home increased due to the spread of work from home, etc., but it was almost flat compared to the weekday of the previous week.
In addition, the communication volume during the daytime on the second half of the weekend and the daytime on the 2nd and 3rd of this month was up 14% compared with the Saturday and Sunday in late February.
It seems that the number of people who use video distribution etc. during the consecutive holidays increased while people were calling out to refrain from going out, but it was almost flat compared to Saturday and Sunday of the previous week.
NTT Communications explains that although it is increasing the communication volume, it does not affect the overall service, so we will continue to carefully watch the transition.
