I'm in a F500 company that's a little late to the party but they're catching up. They just put some network restrictions in place to save bandwidth and people are getting antsy. From looking at Slack apparently losing Spotify was the biggest blow.
It wouldn't surprise me if that blacklist stays in place forever. I can't imagine how much bandwidth is lost to streaming audio and video during a work day.
- ITWarrior 7y agoWhat do network restrictions have to do with WFH/COVID-19? Am I missing something or was this comment meant for a different chain?
- joezydeco 7y agoThe company realized they don't have enough bandwidth at the VPN portals to support hundreds of simultaneous Skype and Teams video chats for the entire length of the work day when everyone starts working from home. So the short-term fix (and probably long-term as well) is to restrict bandwidth-hogging apps from company computers.
