> What if, just as the medical-care crisis started to spiral in New York City, in Detroit, in New Orleans, the internet in those places had stopped working—an hour at a time, a couple of hours in the late afternoon? What if the internet had slowed to half its normal speed? But this has been my experience. I've been working remotely for ~9 years and saw a change soon after the lockdown started. I began having sporadic network trouble, usually in the morning. Some days my connection is might as well have been shut off completely. The other day I was seeing 2743ms of latency on all outside connections. Many days the wifi at the library down the street is better. That said, it has been working a lot more than not. I've watched our IT guy doing a lot of heavy lifting to make it possible for the rest of the staff to work remotely and I'm sure lots of IT people are overworked right now.
